offer exact scientific evidence for a new way to form a concept of the complex control processes taking place in and around the acc, a brain area located near the top of the frontal lobes(耳垂) and along the walls that divide the left and right hemispheres(大脑半球). in the past, we found activity in the acc when people had to make a difficult decision, or after they make a mistake, brown said. but
