Episode 4: The Amygdala, Dopamine, and Prefrontal Cortex in Neurodiversity – Understanding Our Unique Wiring

Welcome back to The Neurodiverse Universe, the podcast that celebrates the incredible diversity of the human mind. I’m your host, Lee Green—executive function coach, lifelong learner, and proudly neurodivergent. In this episode, we explore a powerful trio that shapes how we think, feel, and react: the amygdala, dopamine, and prefrontal cortex. Together, these parts of the brain influence emotional regulation, motivation, impulse control, and executive function—especially in neurodivergent individuals with ADHD, Autism, or anxiety-related conditions. I share my personal journey with impulsivity and emotional reactivity, including how I’ve learned to better navigate moments of “flipping my lid.” We’ll dive into the science of the amygdala hijack, why dopamine is often in short supply in ADHD brains, and how the prefrontal cortex—the brain’s “CEO”—can sometimes struggle to step in when it’s needed most. Most importantly, this episode offers practical, compassionate strategies to calm the emotional storm and support executive functioning, including mindfulness, exercise, CBT, and more. Whether you’re neurodivergent yourself or love someone who is, this episode will help you better understand what’s going on under the hood—and how to work with your brain, not against it. 🎧 Let’s explore the beauty and complexity of the neurodiverse brain—together. And as always— Reach for the stars and be your best self.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
