“How do we regulate our emotions? The answer is surprisingly simple: by thinking about them. The prefrontal cortex allows each of us to contemplate his or her own mind, a talent psychologists call metacognition. We know when we are angry; every emotional state comes with self-awareness attached, so that an individual can try to figure out why he's feeling what he's feeling. If the particular feeling makes no senseâ€”if the amygdala is simply responding to a loss frame, for exampleâ€”then it can be discounted. The prefrontal cortex can deliberately choose to ignore the emotional brain.”
