[四川绵阳南山中学2021高一期末]Challenging work that requires lots of analytical thinking, planning and other managerial skills might help your brain stay sharp as you age, a study published Wednesday in the journal Neurology suggests.
Researchers from the Leipzig University in Germany gathered more than 1,000 retired workers who were over age 75 and assessed the volunteers' memory and thinking skills through a series of tests.Then, for eight years, the scientists asked the same group to come back to the lab every 18 months to take the same sorts of tests.
Those who had held mentally stimulating (饶有趣味的;激励人的), demanding jobs before retirement tended to do the best on the tests.And they tended to lose cognitive (认知的) function at a much slower rate than those with the least mentally challenging jobs.The results held true even after the scientists took the participants' overall health status into consideration.
“This works just like physical exercise,” says Francisca Then, who led the study.“After a long run, you may feel like you're in pain, and you may feel tired.But it makes you fit.After a long day at work—sure, you will feel tired, but it can help your brain stay healthy.”

“It's not just corporate jobs, or even paid work that can help keep your brain fit,”she points out.A waiter's job, for example, that requires multitasking, teamwork and decision-making could be just as stimulating as any high-level office work.“And running a family household requires high-level planning and coordinating,” she says.“You have to bring order to the activities of the children and take care of the bills and groceries.”
Of course, our brains can decline as we grow older for lots of reasons—including other environmental influences or genetic factors.Still, continuing to challenge yourself mentally and keeping your mind busy can only help.

[山东烟台二中2022期中]New research by Northwestern University is the first to document the effect reactivating (重新激活) memories during sleep has on face-name learning.
The researchers found that the recall of people’s names improved significantly when memories of newly learnt face-name connections were reactivated while they were sleeping.The key to this improvement was uninterrupted (不间断的) deep sleep.
“It's a new and exciting finding about sleep, because it tells us that the way information is reactivated during sleep to improve memory storage is connected with high-quality sleep.That is, targeted memory reactivation of face-name learning depends on enough and uninterrupted slow-wave sleep,” said the research leader Nathan Whitmore.

A study was conducted on 24 participants, aged 18 to 31, who were asked to memorise the faces and names of 40 pupils from a Latin American history class and another 40 from a Japanese history class.When each face was shown again, they were asked to produce the name that went with it.After the learning exercise, participants took a nap while the researchers carefully monitored brain activity using EEG measurement.When participants reached the “deep sleep” state, some of the names were softly played on a speaker with music that was connected with one of the classes.
When participants woke up, they were retested on recognising the faces and recalling the name that went with each face.In those with uninterrupted sleep, the reactivation led to a relative improvement averaging just over 1.5 more names recalled.“We already know that some sleep disorders can affect memory,” said Whitmore.“Our research suggests a possible explanation for this—frequent sleep interruptions at night might be lowering memory.”

“This new line of research will let us address many interesting questions—like whether sleep interruption is always harmful or whether it could be used to weaken unwanted memories,” said Whitmore.“At any rate, we are increasingly finding good reasons to value high-quality sleep and learning more about the relevant brain functions.”
