Reading literature increases the power of the human brain! [research]

The Dhaka Times Desk Literature always increases the creativity of people, it is already established fact, books are true friends of people, now researchers have discovered that reading literature can increase the performance of human brain many times.

There are many people who say that reading books makes their life flow in a different direction or makes life monotonous or imaginary, but researchers now say that reading books or literature refreshes people's thinking and the human brain becomes stronger through reading literature.

A research team from Atlanta's Emory University recently found in a study on reading literature and its benefits that literature is actually a necessary subject for the human brain. The researchers let a total of 12 students read a special piece of literature written by Robert Harris called Pompeii, and the researchers gave the students a total of 14 days to finish reading the literature, while the researchers said they would follow the students' lifestyles for 19 days, and see between them. what has changed

During the first 5 days of reading the literature, the researchers performed fMRI scans of the students' brains and found that their brains were in a resting state, and for the next 9 days, the students' brains were in a highly active state because this is when they begin to savor the original taste of the literature and want to know its ending. After completing the full literature study, the students were again scanned (fMRI) and given a special MCQ test which was taken once before during the fifth day. .

The head of the research team, Gregory Berns, said that our study showed that through reading literature, the human brain comes out of the resting state and reaches an active state. The more literature people read, the more brain will become active. So from now on read more literature and strengthen the weak brain.

This study on literature reading and brain power is the first to be published Brain Connectivity In a journal called
