How to keep brain fresh

September 20, 2007 – 01:15

Neurogenesis is the process of creation of new neurons in the brain.  That literary keeps your brain fresh new.

NY Times run an article on recent mice brain study.  Most of article is devoted to the role of aerobic exercise, i. e. running.  They sum up with rather interesting and though-provoking list of things that also help neurogenesis.

  • marijuana (how wonderful! :)
  • alcohol (yeah! bring two more beers!)
  • sociability (.. and one for my girl.. each of them :)
  • chocolate
  • aerobic exercise (to keep list complete)
What hurts most?   Fat diet and uncontrollable stress.

P.S.  No mice where hurt in writing this post :)
