The active use of the Internet increases brain activity in half

Regular search information over the Internet are important centers in the brain that. Control decision-making and complex reasoning, according to Reuters Scientists at the University of California conducted a study, which means that promote the use of the World Wide Web search engines and helps to improve brain function found. The study demonstrated the presence of the physiological effects of modern computer technologies for human health. According to neurologists, prevent the permanent activity of nerve cells in the Internet browsing various content and with different semantic load atrophy of neurons and has a positive effect on the cognitive function of the brain. Scientists conducted brain scans, which allows to determine the changes in the brain when searching for information on the Internet. Specialists detected intense cellular reactions and increased cerebral blood flow during cognitive tasks. They also found that Web search the area of the brain that are inactive when reading books activated - the front, temporal cortex areas for the difficult tasks and decisions. Even more work affect temporal, parietal and occipital areas, the visual skills, memory, reading and language skills. However, experts point out that all these functions are observed only for experienced users of the Internet. According to researchers, compared with reading, use of the Internet requires a person of choice. For example, a search for what it is necessary to install water meters need to be analyzed, a few pages to get a variety of information of interest to draw a preliminary selection and conclusions. This exercise doubles the activity of the brain and raises important cognitive systems in the brain, said the expert.
