最新的研究表明,运动不仅能使肌体保持活力,而且还能增强智力。美国研究人员发现,奔跑能促使老鼠大脑生长新的细胞,从而表明运动和智力之间存在着一定的联系。在《自然神经科学》杂志上刊登的研究报告说,经常运动的老鼠,其大脑细胞的生长是关在笼内不动的老鼠的两倍。加州索尔克研究所的神经病学家弗雷德·盖 Recent research shows that exercise not only keeps the body alive but also enhances intelligence. American researchers found that running can promote new growth of mouse brain cells, indicating that there is a certain link between exercise and intelligence. Studies published in the Journal of Natural Neuroscience report that rats who exercise regularly have twice as many brain cells growing in cages as mice.
