Prefrontal Cortex Deficits in High-Conflict Personalities: The Neuroscience of Impulse Control Failure During Conflict The prefrontal cortex contains two distinct braking systems — the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) — that work together to regulate impulse during interpersonal conflict. When both systems hypoactivate simultaneously under emotional load, the result is a compound failure in top-down inhibitory control that standard cognitive assessments cannot detect. ...
