| Walking: a great way to tune up the brain. |
In a study published in Frontiers of Neuroscience,
you can keep your mind young via walking. A new target for researchers
has lately been something called the Default Mode Network (DMN). When
you aren’t paying attention to anything in particular the DMN revs
away. Consider it your idle speed controller for the engine in your
skull. People suffering from degenerative brain diseases such as
Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia could benefit from 40 minutes of casual
walking a day. The result is an easier shift from the activity of
breathing and other idle processing to focused attention, the gas in
your brain tank knows where to go. So, put your shoes on and your feet
in first gear. Walking: the mental lubricant for the transmission of
the mind.
