Does Open Space Have an Effect On You? The Truth Will Probably Surprise You

Strengtheningmental health is a huge industry. Just do a easy Google search and you’ll discover literally millions of results. However did you realize that the science behind modern neurology is very young? Like a hundred years young? And that’s not even taking into account the new discovery of neuroplasticity (your brain’s capacity to change) – a finding that changed what how scientists viewed the brain and the birth of brain exercises and memory exercises.

In this post, I am going to reveal two things that many people fail to do when it comes to maintaining and boosting their mental health. Since the science is so new, don’t be shocked if even professionals omitted these. Here goes.

1. You may already realize that brain exercises can boost brain capacity. That is because when approached by a challenge, your brain adapts and become stronger, just like your muscles. However did you realize that there is a crucial component that scientists took for granted? When challenges were presented to two groups of mouse – 1 in a group with standard social interaction and the other in isolation, the outcome were quite inconsistent. The mouse in groups had numerous neurons – as foreseen – however the brains of the rats in isolation actually shrunk! That’s right, brain exercises could improve your mental health, but this is true only supposing that you have usual social interaction.

2. You may not realize this however open space has an extensive influence on your psychology. A research was once carried out by John B. Calhoun, once again on mouse. When space is abundant, the mouse behaved as expected in an ideal natural world he put them in. However when they reproduce and space became insufficient, he witnessed unpredictable transformation in the rat’s behavior. Girls hold off to reproduce and became more and more aggressive while males became anti-social and stopped courtship. Unsocial restriction has much been adopted as a torture device so don’t use it on yourself. Go out to an open area, preferably out of town, at worst once a week. You will enjoy the experience.
