Rat Cheese
UCLA scientists now claim that middle aged and elderly males that frequently use the internet may have better brain function than their male counterparts who do not surf the web. The work from UCLA demonstrates that web activity can help stimulate and possibly improve brain function. The study looked at 24 neurologically normal individuals between the ages of 55-76. Half the group had experience with the internet and the other half were clueless about cyberspace. Age and education levels were similar between the groups.
While performing web searches, the researchers evaluated brain function using magnetic resonance imaging scans. Study participants who were internet savvy showed significantly more brain activity while surfing than those who had no experience with cyberspace.
The researchers did not look at whether surfing for porn also increased brain activity.
So what are individuals searching on a Wednesday morning on Google?
Looking at searches performed today based on Google keywords, it reveals that rat cheese, chuck E cheese coupons, fat rat and Steve Philips top the list. If anyone thinks that surfing on the above key words is great for brain enlightening- you need some rat cheese.
