想象一下，你超重了，你在一家面包店的店面里发现了你最喜欢的糕点。你是如何抵制这种诱惑的？或者举其他的例子，你是如何控制自己不超支或屈服于性诱惑的？本文总结了最近的两项研究，强调抑制在决策过程中的根本重要性。基于这些研究的结果，我们敢断言，抵抗诱惑的能力取决于右前额叶皮层（PFC）的活动水平。
Imagine you are overweight and you spot your favorite pastry in the storefront of a bakery. How do you manage to resist this temptation? Or to give other examples, how do you manage to restrain yourself from overspending or succumbing to sexual temptations? The present article summarizes two recent studies stressing the fundamental importance of inhibition in the process of decision making. Based on the results of these studies, we dare to claim that the capacity to resist temptation depends on the activity level of the right prefrontal cortex (PFC).
