    Abstract

    Introduction:
    An evidence-based formula of Frontal integration (NeM)1 may be used to assess options of optimization calculating the first derivative with respect to autonomic activation (x): dC/dx = Rc2/L where R indicates semantic knowledge (STS), c is the attention (vmPFC) and L is a constant reciprocal to Mesolimbic dopamine activity (mood). The study aims to explore interpersonal differences in coping associated with neural properties.

    Method:
    Neuroeconomic literature search of how neural centers of Rc2/L shape risk attitude2 or coping.

    Results:
    General risk attitude is a right skewed distribution with relative stability across life domains where different segments characterize different coping-styles (Temper) rooted in the relative dominance of different neural centers:
    • The extremes of the distribution of Rc2/L are represented by3:
    Risk aversive Pragmatics dominated by Amygdala versus risk prone Explorers dominated by Frontopolar C.
    Over the lifespan young people in general - and especially males - are more risk prone then elder people
    • The center of the distribution is represented by two complementary coping profiles, females and males4:
    Risk sharing Empatics dominated by OFC and risk minimizing Rationalists dominated by dlPFC
    • R correlates both with your own level of education and that of your parents 3

    Conclusion:
    Empirical verification of the first derivative of NeM uncovers four different coping patterns within the range of normal behaviors with an obvious analogue to the classical tempers. In prospect, differentiating the Frontal integration pattern by temper (General risk attitude) opens an evidence-based pathway for individually tailored neural training towards advanced social objectives as multidisciplinary collaboration and healthy living.
