Brain Type 12:

Impulsive, Overfocused & Anxious

Individuals with Brain Type 12 are often go-getters, known for their strong-willed and persistent nature. They thrive on control, exhibiting traits like tenacity and determination. SPECT scans of individuals with Brain Type 12 commonly reveal decreased activity in the prefrontal cortex (the brain’s brake system), heightened activity in the anterior cingulate gyrus (the brain’s gear shifter), and increased activity in the brain’s anxiety centers.

Are you a go-getter who won’t take no for an answer? People with Brain Type 12 are known for their strong-willed and persistent nature. They thrive on being in control, exhibiting traits like tenacity and determination. While this can be a tremendous asset, it also can manifest as stubbornness at times. Individuals with this Brain Type may wrestle with worry, sleep issues, and have a penchant for precision.

Individuals with Brain Type 12 often show decreased activity in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Think of the PFC as the brain's brake system, guiding us away from decisions that aren’t in our best interest, but potentially inhibiting creativity if overworked.

Studies show that Brain Type 12 may be associated with lower levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter vital for focus and drive. As a result, people with this Brain Type often seek out excitement and stimulation to stay on task. Individuals with Brain Type 12 also tend to have heightened activity in the anterior cingulate gyrus (ACG). The ACG is the brain's internal gear shifter. It’s responsible for smooth transitions between thoughts and actions. An overactive ACG – often linked to low serotonin levels – may cause individuals to struggle with shifting attention, leading to persistence even when it may not be advantageous.

The SPECT scans of individuals with Brain Type 12 also show heightened activity in the brain's anxiety centers, including the basal ganglia, insular cortex, and amygdala. This is often attributed to lower levels of GABA, a neurotransmitter known for its calming effects. People with this Brain Type are usually driven towards their goals, but oscillate between intense pleasure and bouts of anxiousness.

Achieving balance for Brain Type 12 involves increasing dopamine, serotonin, and GABA levels, along with optimizing your omega-3 intake.
