The post central traffic condition gyrus.

So evidently "Studies show that talking on a cellphone cuts a driver's brain activity in half in a key area of the brain needed for noticing traffic conditions."
I wonder if this area is evolutionarily defined? or is acquired through drivers education class in H.S.?
