This frontal lobe—the last part of the human brain to evolve, the slowest to mature, and the first to deteriorate in old age—is a time machine that allows each of us to vacate the present and experience the future before it happens.

The prefrontal lobe is a part of our brain that helps us think and make decisions. It's located at the front of our head, right behind our forehead. It's like the "control center" for our thoughts and actions, and it helps us plan things, pay attention, and solve problems.
