Australian researchers said that the brain is shrinking faster than what had been resolved through stimulating puzzles or learning new languages.
The news agency reported the Australian "any ABM" The tomography of the brain showed that people who do not adhere to complex mental activity throughout life, suffering from declining growth rate twice more than others, the key part of the brain in old age.
This discovery sheds more light on the link between lifestyle and dementia injury, and gives the force of the manual that mental sport, such as solving puzzles and learning new languages, one that avoids disease of old age.
He said Michael Valenzuela in the College of Psychiatry at the University of New South Wales, "We have strong evidence that people who use the brain more than others to suffer from shrinking brain lower rate."
Valenzuela added, "I hope that this matter is to invite people to use the brain because it helps them to delay or even prevent the incidence of dementia."
The research team studied included 50 people in the sixties over 3 years, found that those who were mentally active throughout their lives have a large memory center of the brain.
It turned out that the brain of mental activity was low throughout their lives reduced by half during the past three.
Valenzuela said, "This significant discovery because the small centre memory may be a specific risk factor for those who develop Alzheimer's disease."
He added that with many pharmaceutical companies seek to find a drug target to prevent the contraction center memory can be for people to help themselves.
He continued, "our research shows that the risk of dementia manageable even at the last stages of life."
It should be noted that other studies have shown that the activity is delaying mental diseases of the brain Hantgton and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
