Researchers have discovered that extensive training physically reorganizes the brain, allowing learned tasks to bypass the prefrontal cortex and run through specialized circuits. By freeing up the brain's primary decision-making center, individuals can successfully perform multiple tasks at once, challenging the long-held belief that we can only rapidly switch between them.
