Your Brain Shuts Down When You Multitask
Description
New research reveals your brain literally shuts down key decision-making areas when you multitask—yes, even when you think you’re handling it all. Advanced imaging shows the prefrontal cortex goes offline under digital overload, making us less effective and potentially smarter in the long run. Scientists are now investigating if this damage is temporary or permanent—and whether we can retrain our brains to focus better. Maybe it’s time to put down the phone and give your brain a break.
