AI Summary

Researchers tracked individual neurons in mice undergoing dual‑task training and found that the brain does not rely on a fixed processing bottleneck to limit multitasking. Instead, practice leads to dynamic reorganization of neural resources, allowing more efficient handling of simultaneous tasks. The study, led by professors from City University of Hong Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, demonstrates how learning reshapes interference‑prone neural circuits to improve multitasking performance.
