So what happens when we pay attention is that the prefrontal cortex, the sort of executive part of our brains, sends a signal that makes a little part of our brain much more flexible, more plastic, better at learning, and shuts down activity in all the rest of our brains.
Cando prestamos atención a algo, a parte frontal do cerebro, a parte que executa as accións, manda un sinal que fai que unha pequena parte do cerebro se flexibilice, se volva máis plástica, mellor para aprender; e apaga a actividade no resto do cerebro.
