The Brain's Hidden Architecture of True Multitasking: How Practice Rewires Neural Pathways Beyond the Prefrontal Cortex
A landmark Georgetown study reveals that true multitasking emerges not from rapid switching, but from the physical migration of automated skills from the prefrontal cortex to the temporal lobe—transforming how we understand learning, addiction, and AI.
