The ability to use language, plan, and make decisions are all functions of the forebrain, specifically the cerebral cortex. Therefore, destroying the forebrain would be the most effective way for Rex to achieve his goal. The other options, such as the limbic system, reticular formation, and thalamus, are involved in other functions such as emotion, arousal, and sensory processing, respectively.
