Does socializing really enhance brain functioning?

A study has shown that the better you communicate with your friends, the more sociable you are, and the larger your brain area. At the same time, studies have found that people who have more friends are more social, and some parts of the brain are larger. The brain has more than 100 billion neurons, and socializing can prompt the brain to generate more neurons, make more connections, and strengthen those connections.

When communicating with someone, you need to pay attention to his language, tone, expression, tone, emotion, and use the correct sentence instantly, which is a very difficult task for the brain. If it's a stranger, the challenge is even greater. Frequently challenging the brain helps the brain to cognitively reduce the risk of disease, and greatly improves consciousness, reactions, memory, emotions, and satisfaction.

Some studies have found that older people who are more socially active have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

In one experiment, scientists at the University of Oxford asked 18 people (both men and women) how many friends they had met, how many friends they had spoken to, and how many emails they had sent in the last month. Some of them contacted an average of about 20 friends, some met more than 40 friends, and some only contacted 10 good friends.

The results of the scan showed that half of the people who were more socially adept had larger brain areas, and the more friends they had, the larger the brain areas. The cerebral cortex in front of the brain is one of the social areas of the brain that is used to pay attention to what other people are doing. The results of the scan showed that the social area of the human brain and the area of the brain that is used to pay attention to other people's thoughts and feelings are particularly expressive.

At the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, I also heard that social engagement is strongly linked to all areas of the brain.

By social, we mean high-quality socializing, not casual chatting. So what is high-quality socialization? First of all, your brain is activated in the process of chatting, generating strong emotions and not getting bored.

Second, the content is stored and can be called up later. After a high-quality party, I came home and felt that my whole body was in a state of excitement, and I could still recall some details in my head.

Yes, by communicating with other people, you can make yourself more active, make your brain more flexible, and therefore enhance your brain function.

To a certain extent, social interaction can indeed exercise people's brain function, because we will experience a lot of unexpected and unexpected things in the process of socializing, and we also need to deal with a lot of interpersonal relationships, so it will enhance brain function.

This is for sure, because the more the human brain is developed, the more agile it becomes, so if you use the brain often, you can develop many functions in the brain.
