You can take fish oil supplements. You can invest in a language class. There are countless methods to improve your memory and cognitive functioning.. It's called reading. It is amazing how such an ordinary activity can improve your brain in so many ways.
The most basic impact occurs in the brain area associated with language reception. Compared with processing spoken language, reading encourages the brain to work harder and better.. A study found that some of those benefits lasted for five days.
Reading also energizes the region responsible for motor activity. That's because the brain is a very lively play actor. When it is reading about a physical activity, the neurons（神经元）that control that activity get busy as well. You may not actually be riding a horse when you're reading Seabiscuit, but your brain acts as if it is., the better it is for your overall cognitive performance.
What if you are a poor reader who feels as if you'll never be able to read enough to harvest these benefits?. Scientists studied children aged eight to ten who were below-average readers. One hundred hours of reading classes significantly improved the quality of their brains' white matter -the tissue that carries signals between areas of gray matter, where information is processed.
