Summary
When stressed, your brain’s ancient survival system hijacks focus—activating the amygdala and sidelining the prefrontal cortex, which kills creativity and clear thinking. New research confirms this biological tug-of-war, offering concrete proof that stress literally rewires your mind. The implications? Better support in schools and workplaces to help people think sharper under pressure—because managing stress isn’t just about feeling calm, it’s about unlocking peak mental performance.
