For those middle-aged and older people, the use of the internet helps boost brain power, so the researchers suggest. a team from the University of California Los Angeles stated that "searching" in the Web can stimulate the brain centers that control decision-making and complex thoughts. The researchers also say, this can even help "Against" psikological changes associated with aging that causes decreased brain performance. The results of this study are listed in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry.
When you get older, a number of changes in the brain ensued, including depreciation and impairment in cell activity that can affect the performance of the brain. Opinions that have been publicly reported, that some activities may still maintaining the activity / work of the brain, such as filling a crossword puzzle. Recent research suggests that surfing the web is a useful part of the activity. Lead researcher Professor Gary Small--said: "The study results are encouraging and bring computer technologies that have a psychological impact and potential benefits for middle-aged and older people. searching on the Internet involve complicated brain activity, which may help exercise and improve brain function".The latest study was conducted on 24 volunteers aged between 55 and 76. Half of them are Internet users and the rest did not.
Each volunteer was treated brain scans when they do a web search and reading tasks. Both these types of task produced evidence of significant activity of the brain controlling language, reading, memory and visual abilities. Although, searching the Web generate significant additional activity in separate parts of the brain that controls decision-making and complex thinking, but this is only the people who are users of web / internet only. The researchers say that compared to regular reading, the internet asking people to vote on what to click to obtain the relevant information. However, they stated that the newcomers to the web does not yet have a strategy that is needed to successfully perform a web search / internet successfully.
Professor Smith said: "simple, everyday tasks such as searching on the Internet may increase the" rotation "of the brain in adults , and shows that our brains are sensitive and can continue to learn as we growold.
"RebeccaWood, chief executive of the Alzheimer's Research Trust, said:"This interesting study complements previous research findings stating that the middle-aged and older people can reduce the risk of stagnation of the brain / mind (dementia) by taking part in routine activities that are mentally stimulating. Users of web / internet is often called, "silver surfers", do this well. The frequency of social interaction, exercise regularly and maintain a balanced diet can also reduce the risk of derailing the brain / mind(dementia).
"DrSusanne Sorensen, Head of Research at the Alzheimer's Society, said:"searching into a positive message that people remain active, but still very little real evidence that keeping the brain with puzzles, games or other activities can develop cognitive health and reduce the risk of dementia ".
