The human brain is shrouded in secrets and mysteries that have puzzled over more than one generation of scientists.
Despite many discoveries in this area, scientists continue to surprise with new statements. It turns out that brain health and a person's character are interconnected.
The results of the work were published in the scientific journal Neurobiology in Aging.
What was found out?
The research has proven the existence of a connection between the character and structure of the human brain.
For example, in neat, conscientious, and disciplined people, scientists observed an increase in the volume of gray matter in critically important areas of the brain.
We are talking about areas responsible for cognitive functions, analysis and decision-making, as well as the ability to control emotions.
If a person is prone to neuroticism, anxiety, emotional instability, depression, then the volume of gray matter in the studied areas of the brain decreased.
Conclusions of scientists
According to scientists, a person's habits and communication style, as well as frequent stress and neuroticism, reflect the state of the brain.
And if we talk about stress and neuroticism, these circumstances lead to a gradual decrease in brain volume.
Scientists are urging people to stick to healthy habits and manage stress to keep their brains healthy.
