Meanwhile, a third region, the mesial prefrontal cortex, also plays a role—

This brain region is called the prefrontal cortex, and it sits directly above your eyes.

And you can think of the prefrontal cortex almost like the CEO of your brain.

there was strong activity in the prefrontal cortex and there was lower blood oxygen levels in the PFC after a combined physical and mental task than when just doing physical work.

The researchers specifically noted that when performing both physical and mental tasks, there was strong activity in the prefrontal cortex and there was lower blood oxygen levels in the PFC after a combined physical and mental task than when just doing physical work.

That difference is in the very front of the brain, in a place called the prefrontal cortex.

In a study at the University of Southern California, researchers found that pathological liars have about 25 % more white matter in their prefrontal cortex than the rest of us.
