prefrontal cortex
a part of human brain, located in the front of the brain, behind the forehead, is responsible for all kinds of cognitive processes like making decisions, determining right and wrong, analysing thoughts, regulating behaviour and even abstract thoughts.
Prefrontal cortex is the anterior part of the frontal lobes.
If you can't tell if it's right or wrong, better go check your prefrontal cortex!
impact bias
a tendency to overestimate the impact of some intense life events on our feelings, magnify strength and length of its influence on one's happiness.
After the traumatic accident, Jane had an impact bias and was strongly convinced she would never be fully recovered.
Impact bias is not only unnecessary, but also dangerous for a affected person, who may unconsciously worsen his/her state.
cognitive processes
processes of gaining and using knowledge, informations, remembering, perceiving, include also paying attention, learning, solving problem, understanding and using languages and other operations that affect mental contents.
Without our cognitive processes, we wouldn't be human beings.
He stood there, motionless, dazed, unable to speak, praying for his cognitive processes to be back on track.
turgid prose
pompous, excessively complex form of spoken or written language, with an ostentatiously flowery, ornate style.
Mr Lavish's publications are such a turgid proses that they should be released in diet version.
I didn't want to upset him by saying that his speach was a turgid prose, so I just answered that the vocabulary was extraordinarily rich.
immune system
system which protects our bodies from diseases, makes them resistant to infections and helps to recover after being ill or injured.
My immune system is not doing very well lately, I guess I should do to the doctor or at least take some vitamins.
Immune system is a pretty impressive mechanism, you could almost imagine you have a tiny army inside of you.
