Pati ki pi resan nan neocortex a évoluer se la prefrontal cortical ki devlope sou 500,000 ane de sa. Li se souvan rele nan sèvo egzekitif la. Sa a bay nou ak mekanism pou pwòp tèt ou-kontwòl, planifikasyon, konsyans, panse rasyonèl, konsyans, ak lang. Li te tou kontra ak lavni, estratejik yo ak lojik panse ak moralite. Li se 'mwens' nan sèvo yo pi gran primitif ak pèmèt nou anpéché oswa mete fren yo sou konpòtman ensousyan. Pati sa a plus nan sèvo a se pati ki toujou sou konstriksyon pandan adolesans.

The most recent part of the neocortex to evolve is the prefrontal cortex that developed about 500,000 years ago. It is often called the executive brain. This provides us with mechanisms for self-control, planning, consciousness, rational thought, awareness, and language. It also deals with the future, strategic and logical thought and morality. It is the ‘minder’ of the older primitive brains and allows us to inhibit or put the brakes on reckless behaviour. This newer part of the brain is the part that is still under construction during adolescence.
