The prefrontal cortex is identified as a key brain region that interacts with limbic structures to facilitate emotion regulation, as evidenced by its structural connectivity via the uncinate fasciculus [1] and its functional involvement with areas like the amygdala and insula [2]. Furthermore, mindfulness practices are shown to improve emotion regulation by strengthening the neural connections between the prefrontal cortex and the limbic system [3].

referenceBrain areas critical for their interactions with the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in emotion regulation include the amygdala, hippocampus, striatum (including the nucleus accumbens), thalamus, and insula.
claimThe uncinate fasciculus is a tract of fibers connecting limbic structures to the prefrontal cortex that is highly plastic during development and critical for emotion regulation and transformation.
