Executive Functions

 
Understanding Executive Functions in 30 Seconds!

Executive functions are a set of cognitive processes essential for controlling and regulating behavior. These functions include working memory (the ability to hold and manipulate information temporarily), flexible thinking (the ability to adapt thinking in response to new information or changes in the environment), and self-control (the capacity to manage impulses, emotions, and behaviors). These processes are critical for goal-directed activities, problem-solving, and decision-making, enabling individuals to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and manage multiple tasks successfully.

How chronic stress warps decision-making

  Nerve-cell ‘highways’ identified in mice suggest that stress pushes the brain towards rigid habit and away from thoughtful choices. Scientists have found two ‘dials’ in the brain that help to explain how  chronic stress  hijacks decision-making 1 . The discovery is based on experiments in mice and will therefore need to be confirmed in humans. But it shows that prolonged stress dials back deliberate decision-making while also boosting an ‘autopilot’ mode in the brain that favours rigid, habitual behaviours. It’s long been known that humans who face chronic stress are prone to resort to a habit, such as smoking a cigarette or eating junk food, rather than make a well-thought-out decision. The work, reported today in  Nature , uncovers a biological mechanism for how stress puts its finger on the scale in favour of routine, scientists say. “It’s really a major achievement,” says Kyle Smith, a neuroscientist at Dartmouth University in Hanover, New Hampsh...
