Brain Boost

Using the Internet is a simple brain-training activity that can help improve cognitive function in older adults. That’s according to a new study released in Chicago today.

Basically, the study shows that those who learn to use the Internet to seach for information experience a surge of activity in key decision-making and reasoning centers of the brain. This kind of surge helps to slow the brain’s decline as people age. I'm going to test this theory now by searching for free web images. Personally I'm doubtful of any enhanced brain activity on a late Friday afternoon.
