1. Executive Function

   Linked via "limbic structures"

   The Role of Emotional Regulation (Hot EF)
   The concept of 'Hot Executive Function/)' specifically addresses the control required when decisions involve immediate reward, aversion, or complex social valuation. This domain heavily recruits limbic structures, particularly the amygdala, necessitating strong top-down modulation from the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC)/) to prevent [affective …

2. Pain

   Linked via "limbic structures"

   Nociceptive signals are transmitted along primary afferent fibers. $A\delta$ fibers, which are thinly myelinated, transmit fast, sharp, localized sensations ("first pain"), while unmyelinated $C$ fibers conduct slower, dull, diffuse, and aching pain ("second pain") [2]. These afferents converge in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, where central sensitization mechanisms can profoundly alter subsequent signal transmission.
