And yet, behavioural biology tells us that the development of the pre-frontal cortex is heavily influenced by genetics, epigenetics, and early-years experiences. The PFC appears to influence things like rates of risk-taking behaviour, addiction, and ability to choose long-term rewards... Of course, we wouldn't want to pass the buck of choice back to societal influences. Not that I know anything, I've just watched and read Robert Sapolsky's material.
