Question:
How is the medial prefrontal cortex negatively affected by burnout? Multiple Choice Sustained increased levels of glucocorticoids negatively affect the medial prefrontal cortex, weakening neuronal communication abilities and also decreasing a person's ability to regulate their emotions. Decreases in glucoids weaken the medial prefrontal cortex by causing increased and more rapid neuronal communication, which causes confusion. Increases in glucoids create stronger bonds in some areas of the brain, while weakening those in the prefrontal cortex. Decreases in glucose cause strengthening of some neuronal transmissions in some parts of the brain, while strengthening others, making it more difficult for a person to regulate their emotions.
