🧵 Prefrontal cortex training

How do you develop the prefrontal cortex? There's research that shows that meditation causes an increase in cortical thickness, and people who meditate subjectively experience things like improved executive functioning, attentional control, etc. Conversely there's also some research that shows that things like pornography consumption have deleterious effect on the prefrontal cortex which also subjectively makes sense.
There's also things like certain neurofeedback modalities which use infrared light to measure blood flow to the frontal lobes which seems to have some promise as well. Dr Kawashima (yes the Nintendo DS game guy) has also done a lot of brain imaging research that shows that things like simple mental arithmetic activates several regions in the frontal lobes and subsequently has positive effects on things like executive functioning.
Surely there has to be some sort of training methodology that is more efficient than the wishy washy meditation shit or basic brain training meant for grandmas to stave of alzheimer.

Here is what you can do ; eat well , perform aerobic exercise (like running etc) , learn a new language , and play musical instruments. And desu most importantly get enough sleep and drink enough water- You do all that youll find yourself preforming lightyears better.
Also , yeah, porn is a waste of time and effort - put that intensity in mastering your interests.

My only issue is focusing way too damn much on sexual needs - apart from work that takes up most of my time and it destroys me.

I wanna go beyond the "sleep well and exercise" type of advice. The research surrounding meditation especially hints at the fact that there must be some sort of way to directly train the prefrontal cortex in a highly efficient way.

well first you need to do those foundational steps foward - then you can get into supplements like Omega-3s and lions mane etc

Yeah, meditation can be a way of channeling your focus into productive activities and lowering the undesired impulses

You don't need a prefrontal cortex it's just cope from people who don't get laid at all

Prefrontal cortex is associated with personality, planning future actions and imposing self-control, so maybe any activities that force you to make detailed plans and hobbies that require great discipline

A combination of COVID/vaxx damage and cooming destroyed my prefrontal cortex.
How do I return it to functionality?

Drill a hole in your skull and let the coom drain out
