Urban Living: effects on Brain

THE CITY has always been the engine of intellectual life, the London in which citizens gathered in the chemistry and radical politics, modern Paris, where Pablo Picasso are kept in the world of modern art left bank, added to the end of the 18th century coffeehouses. Without the metropolis we can possibly did not have the high art of Shakespeare or James Joyce; even Einstein is inspired by bus and train. And yet, the city's life is not easy. The same London-cafes, which contribute to the Ben Franklin also helped spread the cholera; The Picasso was acquired by finally real estate quiet Provence. Modern city could be one of the poets and playwrights, haven henkilöstöpohjan, but it is also deeply artificial and by far the place.


Now, researchers have begun to investigate how the city affects the brain and the results are reprimanding. Only the urban environment, they are currently stated, undermine the core of our mental health.Funds After a few minutes to the city, in 3 Georgian RedBrick town houses, trimming the brain must be able to Hold things in memory and a reduced suffers increased self-control. Although it is recognised that, in the Centre of the city's long life is exhausting — therefore, Picasso left Paris — this new research suggests that the us actually thinking of cities, towns and villages in the dull, sometimes substantially so.


Marc Berman, a psychologist from the University of Michigan and the new research, which is measured according to urban short walk cognitive deficits, author of lead "sense is limited to the machine," says. "And have begun to understand the different ways that the city may exceed those limits."One of the main forces of the nature of the lack of exposure to noise at work is a stark, which is surprisingly useful brain. studies have shown, for example, the hospital patients recover more quickly when they see the trees in their Windows, and that the public housing residents the opportunity to focus on women is better, when their apartment is graze courtyard. Also these fleeting glimpses of nature to improve the performance of the brain, it seems, because they offer a break from the mental health of urban roil.


This study will arrive in the same way as the human cross-important milestone: the first time in the history of the people, the majority reside in urban areas. [1] [2] a type that lives in small tribes, Primate, the African savannah developed such a transfer marks a dramatic shift. Instead of living in the wide open spaces, we are full of incorporated into taxis, transport and strangers in the millions of concrete jungles. In recent years it has become clear that such artificial environment has a large impact on our mental and physical health and change how we think about kiihdytinlaitteiston.


This study also lead to some researchers, both in terms of town planning, as they appear in many dabble metropolis and less harmful to the brain.The good news is that even small changes, such as planting more trees in the inner-city parks, cities, or by creating a greater number of plants, can significantly reduce the life of the city of negative side effects.Bearing in mind the nature of the needs and even a little can be a big help


Having regard to all of my brain has to keep track of it, such as a walk along the busy thoroughfare as Newbury Street. [1] [2] is a great size of harassing pedestrians, Roadway which must be avoided; dangerous crosswalks, which require the brain to control the flow of traffic.(The brain is a machine, you should be cautious about potential threats is always looking for.)Is confusing in the urban grid, which forces users to constantly think about if they are going and when.
