The more a woman moves, the better the effect.

People usually think that brain development stops or even starts to degenerate after reaching adulthood. But a new study finds that adults can use their brains better through intellectual exercise. If this kind of growth can last a lifetime, then for a normal person, people can get smarter as they get older!

1. The latest discovery is that a "living" brain can be cultivated

Past studies have shown that brain development stagnates or even begins to degenerate after adulthood, but this study shows that the adult brain still has potential for development and can get better with use. This suggests that doing more complex mental activities such as crossword puzzles in our daily lives can produce similar effects as those found in the study.

However, some experts also said that magnetic resonance imaging is an indirect way to measure brain structure, so it is still uncertain what changes occur in the brain during the learning process. Future studies should test whether these results reflect changes in the shape or number of nerve fibers, or changes in the myelin sheaths surrounding the nerves.

2. Machines interpret the mysterious brain, “clearly gray and white”

"A cell body is like a 'computer', and the protrusions are like the 'optical fiber system' that connects the computer and other tissues. Under the connection of these 'optical fibers', all the 'computers' form a whole, and the 'computers' can read and access data from each other. For example, when the eyes see an object, it will be transmitted to the 'computer' group responsible for vision through the 'optical fiber', and then compared with the 'computer' group responsible for memory through the 'optical fiber', and then transmitted to the 'computer' group responsible for speech, so that people know how to describe the object.

3. Use it rationally, and the more you use it, the more prosperous it will be.

"In fact, brain cells are like muscle cells. With proper exercise, the muscles become more and more developed and their strength will increase. Regular exercise of brain cells will also increase human intelligence." Professor Yu Changhai said that with the help of appropriate exercise, it can be observed that the blood flow to the corresponding parts of the brain will increase. This will increase nutrition to the area and promote its development.

In the past, people have observed that appropriate intellectual exercise can increase a person's gray matter (neurons). Today, researchers have discovered that exercise can also increase the brain's white matter (protrusions). Although it is not yet known whether this increase means that there are more cells and processes, or that the cells have become larger and the processes have become thicker, or that the cells have gathered in a certain area. But numerous experiments have shown that this change can promote an increase in intelligence.
