The researchers have revealed that the different brain structure have involved different function to read. They separate the reading skill to three parts. First, Sound out the written word, Second, Connect the seen word with sound, Third, Read out loud at speed. They used the scanning to investigate the structure of brain.

Researchers have found that the exercise is helpful to handle the stress.
It is prevalent that exercise have the result of more excitable neurons. However exercise also strengthens the mechanisms that prevent these brain cell from firing.
Theses may help to understand better to understand anxiety disorder.

Researchers have revealed that computer games can make brain younger especially in older people. Actually cognitive function such as attention and memory tends to decline as we age. Suggested “Road Tour” game can be helpful in preventing their mental excutive function from decaying.
Researchers have studied whether aerobic exercise could prevent damage from occurring in long-time drinkers.They haven’t known that exercise causes white matter to improve among heavy drinkers yet. But It can be said that combined benefits of aerobic exercise suggest it could be helpful, though the link between improving white matter and exercise isn’t confirmed.
