Do you have a short span of attention and have no idea why? Well, an intriguing new study published in the 'Journal of Neuroscience' states that those who get distracted easily have more than average volume of grey matter in certain brain areas.
To investigate distractibility, the researchers from the University College London compared brains of easy and difficult-to-distract individuals.
They found that people who demonstrate lack of focused attention while completing a task have 'too much of brain' than those who are not easily distracted, the Daily Tech reports.
Separately, some studies in past have shown that people who are easily distracted by irrelevant stimuli are more likely to be creative geniuses.
