Prefrontal cortex deficits
The prefrontal cortex of the brain is a key brain structure responsible for regulating higher executive functions: planning, goal-setting, decision-making, problem-solving, and behavior control. Children with deficits in this area have significant difficulty organizing the thinking process and consistently performing complex tasks, and may also have difficulty controlling emotions or impulses. This deficit also affects the ability to learn independently and adapt to new environmental demands. This neurological pattern underlies executive dysfunction, highlighting the importance of early therapeutic intervention for the development of neuroplasticity and planning and organization skills.
