Q

what is responsible for executive brain functions?

Study These Flashcards
A

The prefrontal cortex (PFC)

24
Q

what are 4 activities that activate the PFC?

Study These Flashcards
A

planning, organizing, strategizing, paying attention, remembering details

25
What are 4 aspects of well-being that stimulate the PFC through mindfulness?
Body regulation, self awareness, emotional regulation, fear modulation
26
Body regulation
the state of coordination and balance between the brakes and accelerator of the nervous system. When our body is regulated our level of alertness and energy is appropriate to the setting
27
self awareness
our sense of ourselves, creating a coherent life story by connecting present awareness, our life story, and images of the future. There is a key to building positive social connections
28
emotional regulation
emotional experience that is appropriately activated, so life has vitality and meaning. When emotions are disregulated, we become overwhelmed and emotionally chaotic. When emotions are not regulated, we may experience stagnation or depression or a sense that our life is not meaningful.
29
fear modulation
our ability to calm and soothe
30
What are the 9 functions of the PFC?
Empathy, insight, response flexibility, emotion regulation, body regulation, morality, intuition, attuned communication, fear modulation
31
What is leadership based on?
emotions: the emotional task of the leader is primal. It is both the original and most important act of leadership. they are the group's emotional guide

Loving Kindness- active good will towards all Compassion- identifying the suffering of others as one's own empathetic joy- feeling of joy because others are happy equanimity- treating everyone impartially
44

a group of specialized neurons that mirrors the actions and behaviors of others. Involvement of MNS is implicated in neurocognitive functions
45
Social cognition
how we process, store, and apply info about other people- language, empathy, theory of mind
46
Imitation
Mirror neurons are able to recognize the actions of others and the intention associated with them. allows people to anticipate the actions of others

48
Social communication and identification involve imitation, this allows for what?
the more people tend to imitate each other, the more they are able to develop an empathetic relationship
49
Hemodynamic sympathetic networks
allow us to activate directly in our brains something that tunes us into another's emotions
50
What were the findings from the studies on hemodynamic sympathetic networks?
1st findings: resonant leaders produced positive emotions and activated the MNS network, dissonant leaders deactivated the network and produced avoidance activities and negative emotions with repressed memories
51
What was the first finding from the studies on hemodynamic sympathetic networks?
resonant leaders produced positive emotions and activated the MNS network, dissonant leaders deactivated the network and produced avoidance activities and negative emotions with repressed memories
52
What was the second finding from the studies on hemodynamic sympathetic networks?
analytic tasks activate the task positive network in our brains as a part of executive function, enabling us to focus and solve a problem. Blocks out other possibilities. When given social situations we activate a social network in our brain, a part of the default mode network both are completely independent and suppress each other
53
