Parenting May Slow Brain Aging, Research Suggests

Abstract:

Parents show stronger brain connectivity in key regions as they age, according to a study of 37,000 adults. The more children, the greater the cognitive benefit. Researchers link this to enriched caregiving environments. Even non-parents may experience similar effects through active caregiving and strong social connections.
