The prefrontal cortex is located in the very front of the brain, just behind the forehead. In charge of abstract thinking and thought analysis, it is also responsible for regulating behavior. This includes mediating conflicting thoughts, making choices between right and wrong, and predicting the probable outcomes of actions or events. (Executive Functions)
Hippocampus is a part of the limbic system, which is
responsible for emotion, behavior, memory and
olfaction.
SCIENCE OF STRESS

Glucocorticoid: A hormone (cortisol) that predominantly affects the metabolism of carbohydrates and, to a lesser extent, fats and proteins (and has other effects). Glucocorticoids are made in the outside portion (the cortex) of the adrenal gland and chemically classed as steroids.

LONG TERM Less Glucose to brain. Less Oxygen to brain. Disrupt growth patterns and ability to reproduce. Cause connection between neurons and hippocampus to
atrophy. Destroy neurons. Cause heart problems.

Obstacles to success—study of pro athletes concluded the following were among the most common obstacles to managing the stress of achieving top performance. Negative Thinking—If you don’t think you can, you can’t. Rigid Goals—nothing short of your ultimate goal is
acceptable. Doubt—I though I could, now I’m not so sure. Unfair comparison to others—He/she can do it, why not
me, why not now, why not . . . .?
