What are some pills (like omega, DHA, EPA) that enlarge your orbifrontal cortex? I just read in the news that peole with good social ability have much larger and bigger orbitofrontal cortex than people who aren’t social, and the news said that this can be changed over time. Thank you.

The orbitofrontal cortex is an area of the brain attributed to executive function. In other words, it is responsible for decision-making, regulating affect, and implicated in behavior modification associated with reward and punishment. The orbitofrontal cortex is poorly understood but researchers believe its neurons are highly linked to addiction (drugs, gambling).

There are many trains of thought regarding development of certain areas of one’s brain. The most common theories are those that purport that increasing size alone does not necessarily mean increasing function. Increased function requires an increased use of certain areas of the brain to increased neuron density. Therefore, actions such as increased socialization will invariably lead to improved social skills and increased neuron density in the orbitofrontal cortex – something that no supplement can reproduce. In fact, there have yet to be any scientific studies that definitively prove certain areas of the brain can be increased in size or elevated in function by nutritional supplements.
