Sport - It turns out that the brain also benefit from exercise habits. Nerve cells in the brain could prove to be driven growth through sports. Elderly avid sports psychology tests proved to be able to answer with more Pros: The people have a constant number of nerve cells in adulthood. When getting older, nerve cells die slowly.

Until the mid 90 scientist think that the loss of nerve cells in the brain that can't be replaced. However, experiments on animals reversing that assumption and prove that neurogenesis in the brain can be stimulated through exercise.

The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences earlier principles apply in humans. After exercising for three months, all respondents appear to have shoots of new nerve cells. The most it that cardiovascular fitness exercise. It's also believed result from the conversion of stem or stem cells into nerve are functional.

"It's interesting to see the effect of exercise on humans for the first time," said Scoot small, neouroscientist from Columbia Unveristy Medical Center, who also wrote the report with Fred Gage of the Salk Insitute of Neurobiology.

The first is to understand the process by finding out where the new brain which controls learning and memory. This area helps the brain match names and faces, a skill that is very likely to decrease as we get older.

Sports seems to restore them become healthier and younger. "It's not about slowing the aging process, but restoring youthfulness," said Arthur Kramer, a psychologist from the University of Illinois, USA.

Kramer research result also show the effect on the frontal lobes, the part of the brain that perform executive tasks such as decision making, planning and doing a lot of working (multitasking). With scanning technology, he discovered enlarged frontal lobes for the sport.

In many previous studies found men and women aged 60 and 70 were diligent walking or other aerobic improved function sublime. They managed to undergo psychological tests well, answering questions more accurately and quickly.
