Your Brain and You: How to Keep Your Neurons Happy and Healthy
The brain is our most fascinating organ. It affects every aspect of our lives, from movement control to memory, to emotional development, and social cognition. Understanding how the brain functions and how it reacts to different stimuli is core to maintaining happy and healthy neurons, and in turn supporting a happy and healthy life.
The brain is a web of neurons connected by way of electrical impulse synapses and neurotransmitters. These are the chemicals that trigger various types of behavior including thoughts and emotions, and the cells of the nervous system use to interconnect with each other.
Positive emotions can form and solidify neural pathways. But negative feelings and long-term stress can actively harm them. Chronic stress, for instance, could lead to shrinkage in areas of the brain associated with the regulation of emotions, metabolism, and memory, resulting in long-term changes.
Because no two brains are the same, and our brains continue to change and evolve as we age, socialize, and react to different challenges. The study of brain health is consequently a changing and evolving field. But one thing is certain: brain health is fueled by individual lifestyle. And there is strong evidence that exercise, relaxation, and good nutrition can reduce cognitive decline.
