Summary
When stressed, your brain goes into survival mode—tuning out everything but the most immediate threat. New research reveals how cortisol and neural pathways in the prefrontal cortex shrink our focus, making us reactive instead of reflective. This explains why deadlines make you forget meals or miss calls—and it’s happening across all ages. The good news? Scientists are exploring ways to reverse this effect, offering smarter tools to manage stress without losing your mind.
