New research suggests a 'game-like intervention' called Synapsology may just be a smart way to support the brain throughout the years. Here's what this means for the future of brain health, plus how to support your own mental function. 🧠
, conducted by a team at the University of Tsukuba, explains that Synapsology, a program that engages both the mind and the body, has proven to be effective in stimulating brain activity and helped sustain or improve participants' cognitive behavior. So what does this mean for the future of brain health, and how can you support your ownParticipants of this small study in Japan , ranging in age from 85 to 97 years old, were split into two groups .
When the 24 weeks were up, participants in the intervention group were found to have improved both cognitively and physically and were able to maintain those results. Meanwhile, those in the control group remained the same in their mental capacity. The idea around Synapsology is to combine classic, simple games that require motor function and activities that require brainpower in order to stimulate and improve cognitive and physical function over time. The program is even designed for older participants to activate multiple regions of their brain, displaying the benefit of challenging the brain to stay sharp.This ad is displayed using third party content and we do not control its accessibility features.
