> My own understanding, and it is very superficial, is that the prefrontal cortex serves as the locus for the more integrative, high-level, dare I say most human aspects of personality. A dysfunction of the PFC, and/or it's connections to the limbic region, I imagine as truly a 'dehumanizing' disorder. To me, that's what depression feels like. As though I'm losing those things that make humans most human.
Yes.
For years, I have commented to others that I felt sub-human. My level of function certainly was. Unfortunately, most people don't get it.
