A:
a pitfall is a hidden pit in the ground that traps animals or people that fall into the pit.
pitfall means
a hidden danger or weakness

an efficiency pitfall in this context means that
most brains do not process all the sensory information they receive. Instead, our brains only process part of the information and make assumptions without analyzing all the information. This makes the average person’s brain more efficient, but it is also a hidden weakness, or pitfall. Average brains overlook information.
In contrast, “their” brains do not have this weakness of efficiency. They can process more of the information received and without making assumptions.

“I forget stuff every day, maybe my brain is shrinking”

“You are really stupid, do you have a shrunken brain?”

A: Hi Kinichi. ogenki desu ka? ^^

The terms you are asking about are generally two different things.

"On the brain" is an expression meaning that you are thinking about something. "Wow, I have cute girls on the brain." = "I am thinking about cute girls."

"In the brain" is something you would usually only say if you had a medical/health problem in your brain. For example, "The doctor just told me that I have a tumor in the brain" (or: "...in my brain.").

That said, you may find a small amount of English speakers that will use "in the brain" as an expression too: "Aw man, I must have bugs in the brain, because I can't think today." This isn't very common though.

I hope that helps. ^^
