The Control Centre of your Brain
The front part of our brain (the part that develops last) is called the ‘pre-frontal
cortex’.
This part of the brain is a bit like a ‘Control Centre’ because it keeps everything
going smoothly.
The pre-frontal cortex is in charge of a set of an important set of skills which
scientists call 'Executive Function Skills’. We sometimes call them ‘Control
Centre Skills’.
Pre-frontal cortex
You need these Executive Function Skills to get on with others, learn in
lessons, do homework, get jobs done and enjoy activities outside of school.
