Mapping the Brain
The cerebrum, the largest part of the human brain, is associated with higher order functioning, including the control of voluntary behavior. Thinking, perceiving, planning, and understanding language all lie within the cerebrum’s control.

Different parts of the frontal lobe are critical for different tasks involved in decision making like behavioral control
(refraining from buying stuff) and reward-based decision making (trying to win money during gambling).
The patterns of lesions (area suffering from injury or disease) that impair specific tasks shows a very clear separation between those regions of the frontal lobes necessary for controlling behavior, and those necessary for how we give value to choices and how we make decision.
(Image 1 - MRI scans of a human brain show the regions significantly associated with decision-makin

Originally Answered: What part of your brain is responsible for decision making?
The pre-frontal cortex, sitting behind one's forehead, is evolutionarily the latest addition to the Human Brain, and serves several processes; one of most importance is decision making. This region is the last to fully develop in adults, settling down at around age 25 for men, sometimes earlier for women. Teenagers' brains still in adolescence continue to develop the Frontal cortex into adulthood, this is why teenagers are prone to risky tendencies and behavior, as they learn and their brains grow into maturity!

Originally Answered: What part of the brain is most active in decision making?
The central decision-making process occurs in the prefrontal cortex.
Within the prefrontal cortex, different areas play different roles. For example, in deciding whether or not to apply to a job, one area (orbitofrontal) assesses the expected reward-value of doing so while another area (ventrolateral) assesses the chances of succeeding.
However, the prefrontal cortex never works alone because decision-making involves things like goals, feelings, courses of action, and so on. So decision making in the prefrontal cortex is generally part of a broader network involving multiple brain areas (amygdal

Originally Answered: What part of the brain is responsible for decision making?
The parietal lobes are extensively interconnected with regions in the anterior frontal lobes that in humans are thought to be important for abstract thought, decision making, and anticipating the consequences of action.
[1]
These “prefrontal” areas, along with the posterior parietal cortex, represent the highest levels of the motor control significance, where decisions are made about what actions to take and their likely outcome.
“This data lines up with and extends what we’ve seen in humans, because we know that people who have brain damage in that area also have trouble with making decisions,” co

Originally Answered: Which part of the brain is responsible for decision making?
Decision-making is a complex process that we only partially understand. But we do know that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is involved in it, along with the areas that send the PFC inputs, or regulate these inputs: particularly the amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, and basal ganglia.
