The idea that mental functions are localized in a specific
region of the brain is false for higher functions. The highest hierarchical
controls are provided by extensive networks across the entire brain.
There is also no pathological
hyperactivity of these networks, except in the case of epileptic seizures.
Let's talk about hyper connectivity of the control networks, which involves
them in most mental matters.
This
hyper connectivity does not correspond to an inhibition. The control exerted in
particular by the prefrontal regions is an evaluation and not an inhibition.
Inhibition comes from the conflict between contradictory mental
representations, which is sterile precisely because of the lack of evaluation.
Most inhibitions come from poorly managed emotions and impulses, not from
excessive control by consciousness. What is prohibited consciously is not an
inhibition. The reasons are understood. To feel inhibited in one's desires is
not to have appropriated the assessments made by one's own self-consciousness.
