Canadian study links birdwatching to brain changes that boost attention, memory, and visual skills, suggesting the hobby may support long-term brain health.
A Canadian study finds that expert birdwatchers have measurable brain structure differences linked to better attention, memory, and visual processing, likely due to the activity's demanding cognitive tasks.
MRI scans showed greater brain tissue density in regions tied to working memory and object recognition, with experts outperforming novices in identifying birds.
While the research doesn't prove birding prevents cognitive decline, it suggests the hobby may support long-term brain health by promoting neuroplasticity.
The study is cross-sectional, so causation isn't confirmed, and other lifestyle factors may play a role.
Further longitudinal research is needed.
Un estudio canadiense vincula la observación de aves con cambios cerebrales que aumentan la atención, la memoria y las habilidades visuales, sugiriendo que la afición puede apoyar la salud cerebral a largo plazo.
