Answer:

Lisa, age 18, finds that she cannot control her emotions when she becomes angry. she lashes out at those around her in an inappropriate way. nelson and colleagues would say that lisa's prefrontal cortex is not able to handle the emotional intensity of her amygdala.

Explanation:

Prefrontal cortex (PFC) is located in the front part of the frontal lobe of the brain. In this region is implicated the planning complex of cognitive behaviour, expressions, decision making and social behaviour. So, most people that have problems with PFC aren't able to manage emotions, or don't feel that intensity of it.

Amygdala functions are processing memory, decision making and emotional responses, according to researches.
