The brain may allocate existing cortical areas to new functions, leading to faster interpretations and reaction times.

“So what you're talking about is are you having areas where we didn't used to allocate and differentiate in you specificity of what those cells were doing that are now quite related to the different ways my brain is having to interpret a text message and the subtlety and the nuance of that that actually now I'm I get faster at I have faster reaction times I also have faster interpretations. So am I allocating cells that used to do something else to allow me to have that? Probably.”
