To truly understand the brain, we need to look at how it responds and evolves over time, influenced by our environment, experiences, and daily habits.
“If you’ve ever groaned at the notion of getting out of bed for an early morning workout, or grumbled at the thought of losing a night’s sleep due to a late-night Netflix binge, your brain is echoing your sentiments to the activities.
In a remarkable and lengthy study, scientists embarked on a fascinating journey to understand this relationship. They closely monitored a single person’s brain activity, physical activity, mood and lifestyle for a whopping five months.â€
Biggest take away from this unique study:
“If you thought a restless night or an intense workout only had immediate, short-term effects, think again. These experiences could still be impacting your brain — and your attention, cognition, and memory — well into the next week.â€
The study goes on to confirm that some activities cause ripples in brain performance for up to 2 weeks. This explains so much of what previously looked like unrelated effects and behaviours.🔥
