We've known that sitting for long periods of time every day has countless health consequences $ likeahigherriskofheartdisease.Butnowanewstudyhasfoundthatsitingisalsobadforyour brain.
A study published last week, conducted by Dr. Prabha Siddarth at the University of California, showed that sedentary（久坐的）behavior is associated with reduced thickness of the medial temporal lobe（中颛叶）? a brain area that is critical to learning and memory.
The researchers asked a group of 35 healthy people , ages 45 to 70, about their activity levels andtheaveragenumberofhourseachdayspentsitingandthenscannedtheirbrains.Theyfound that the subjects who reported sitting for longer periods had the thinnest medial temporal lobes.

Whatisalsointerestingisthatthisstudydidnotfindasignificantasociationbetweenthelevel ofphysicalactivityandthicknesofthisbrainarea, suggestingthatexercise, evensevereexercise, maynotbeenoughtoprotectyoufromtheharmfulefectsofsiting.
It then surprisingly turned out that you don't even have to move much to enhance cognition（认 矢口）； jus t standing will do the trick. For example, two groups of subjec ts were asked to complete a test while either sitting or standing. Participants are presented with conflicting stimuli.（刺激）, like the word “green" in blue ink, and asked to name the color. Subjects thinking on their feet beat those who sat by a 32-mi.lli.second margin.

We've known that sitting for long periods of time every day has countless health consequences $ likeahigherriskofheartdisease.Butnowanewstudyhasfoundthatsitingisalsobadforyour brain.
A study published last week, conducted by Dr. Prabha Siddarth at the University of California, showed that sedentary（久坐的）behavior is associated with reduced thickness of the medial temporal lobe（中颛叶）? a brain area that is critical to learning and memory.
The researchers asked a group of 35 healthy people , ages 45 to 70, about their activity levels andtheaveragenumberofhourseachdayspentsitingandthenscannedtheirbrains.Theyfound that the subjects who reported sitting for longer periods had the thinnest medial temporal lobes.

It then surprisingly turned out that you don't even have to move much to enhance cognition（认 矢口）； jus t standing will do the trick. For example, two groups of subjec ts were asked to complete a test while either sitting or standing. Participants are presented with conflicting stimuli.（刺激）, like the word “green" in blue ink, and asked to name the color.
