## Resource

Stress hijacks your brain’s decision-making center, locking you into survival mode. New imaging reveals how the amygdala floods the system during pressure, sidelining the prefrontal cortex—your rational thinker. Whether dodging a falling object or a looming deadline, your brain prioritizes immediate threats. But researchers are unlocking ways to train your brain to stay calm and clear, using mindfulness and cognitive exercises to strengthen rational thought under stress.
