Juggling Increases Brain Size
|

Previous studies assumed that humans build brain mass during childhood, develop neurological networking through training in adolescence, can at best maintain this complexity during midlife, and will unavoidably experience diminished mental performance with increasing age.
Now, a study led by Dr. Arne May * of the University of Regensburg has shown that certain regions of the adult brain have the ability to build brain matter through training. In a group of laypersons who practiced juggling over a three-month period, structural changes in the cerebral cortex were identified after the training period. Astonishingly, the new brain matter formed primarily in the two areas that are responsible for vision and touch. Obviously, the difficulty in juggling lies in visually capturing and analyzing the balls' movements.
Leica FusionOptics™ takes advantage of the flexibility of our brains, and as an added benefit improves mental performance capability.
