Researchers have found evidence that a shell-shaped region in the centre of the mammalian brain is likely responsible for the ability to routinely and seamlessly multitask.

MIT scientists have identified a brain circuit that can trigger small regions of the brain to fall asleep even while the rest of the brain remains awake, which explains why we sometimes 'zone out'.
