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.
Kada na nešto obratimo pozornost prefrontalni korteks, neka vrsta izvršnog dijela mozga, šalje signal koji maleni dio mozga čini znatno fleksibilnijim gipkijim, sposobnijim za učenje, a gasi aktivnost u ostalim dijelovima mozga.
