In this core course Dr. Pieter Rossouw describes the neo-cortex, the differences between the left and the right hemispheres and the links between the various structures within the cortex. This important unit will give you an understanding of the functions of the anterior cingulate gyrus, the orbitofrontal cortex, the left and right prefrontal cortices. How these areas modulate the reactiveness of the limbic system is of vital importance to mental well-being and this unit will give you a fundamental understanding of these processes.
