Brain Training For Runners

Four things are important for the function of optimum brain:

• a stimulating environment implies the novelty, exacting the continual erudition
• The brain nutrition (for example Omega 3, B6, B12, Zinc, Epicathechin, the Acid Folique) and avoid Sugar and the bad fatty one (for example freezes the fatty acids as find you in the margarine).
• the brain inducing (the executive process inducing as the High Professionel of QI),
• the exercise more physical, more aerobic and more uniform

We can this to add:

• not having chronic tension - cortisol is a hormone that damages seriously the brain
• having decent sleep - REM (dreaming) sleep is essential for the complex erudition

Aerobic exercise

Another study has just goes out in the Evednement of the National Academy of Sciences showing these advantages of health cognitive of an uniform race. Neuroscientists in Cambridge ae" a friend of Phd of the program of CNBC among them - joined recently forces with the researchers to the United States Institute National on Ageing in the Maryland to examine the effect to run on the brain.

They looked at brains of the rats. A lot can be said of how the human brains work by looks at the functionings of other brains of mammal. There are remarkable similarities, and most of the differences in all but the highest cognitive functions are differences of degree.

They found that to run stimulates the brain to grow of new neurones ae" the new gray matter ae" in left the used brain for the spatial memories called the hippocampe. The hippocampe is so critical for our fluid intelligence. Brain fabric take rodents showed that the current mice had grown the gray fresh matter during the experience. Fabric tries revealed hippocampe in average 6,000 new cells of brain in cubic every millimeter! The hippocampe is one of the few sectors of the brain that can grow of new neurones through the adult age ae" a process called "neurogenesis".

The cell death in the hippocampe is comparatively high as age us ae" a process called 'the cognitive ageing' -doing the exercise that a lot more important one to maintain the execution maximum as let us age us.

How it works

"We know that the exercise can be good for the function of healthy brain, but this work furnishes us with a mechanism for the effect," said Timothy Bussey, a behavior neuroscientist to Cambridge.

If that do all these new cells of brain do? In their study they found that running ae" and the new growth of cell - the taken advantage rats not as much of in the try basic memory as the erudition of a new object and his location, but in the tasks where the objects that should recall were physically identical but could be distinguished based on their spatial relations (for example left against the right). The current mice measured the time on an average of 15 miles (24 km) a day! Their scores on this type of test of memory were almost two higher time than those that did not do exercise.

It seems that the continual growth of new neurones in the hippocampe guarantees that the similar events in our experience only are encoded based on their context ae" in the space and the time (x arrived after there is a context type in the time, just as x is at the left of there is a context in the space).

This memory type translates in our capacity to remember that a person had for the dinner yesterday and the day before, or where they parked on the different trips to the supermarket ae" exactly the type of memory depending on the context that is vulnerable to the cognitive ageing.

The link with QI, fluid intelligence and the High Professionel of QI 'the n-dos doubles' exercises

This is also precisely the type of memory that is essential to the work memory, intelligence and fluid QI. For example in the The high Professionel of QI The exercise of memory of work, you continually have updated it in your memory in the short one run the location of a small square and a letter. It is only the relative location of the square and his order in the time that renders capable you it to take notes of in the memory.

Fluid intelligence is our sur-le-l'endroit reasoning and the problem redsout the capacity. The this is this type of in the short one run advanced memory that needs the new cells of brain for every act of knowledge that is necessary for fluid intelligence.

Just as to do jogging, the The high Professionel of QI The brain inducing the exercise will stimulate certainly the production of new neurones in the extremely useful hippocampe for the flexible erudition and fluid intelligence. While a study was done showing growth to the cell in the frontal ones and lob parietal with our exercise, this special study looks at its effects on the production of cell of brain were not done. I await with impatience visionary the laboratory that it does first.
