Researchers find that certain cognitive abilities are associated with longer lifespans in older persons.
A new study published in Psychological Science notes that not all aspects of intelligence are equally related to how long people live. It has long been known that more intelligent people live longer, but researchers who used data from research based on the Berlin era discovered a specific ability: verbal liquids. Those who could quickly name animals or words, starting with a particular letter, tended to be longer than those who had to deal with them. High values for these tasks predict a nearly nine-year difference in median survival.

An important mechanism underlying human cognition is revealed by fascinating neuroscience research.
How does the brain adapt to different standards of mental challenge? New studies using neuroimaging show that brain activity in the case of more complex cognitive tasks is not only detailed but also more streamlined. The results suggest that the brain adjusts activity patterns to meet task requirements and allows for more efficient processing with mentally challenging activities. The study was published in the minutes of the National Academy of Sciences was established with the desire to understand how the brain manages various cognitive requirements.

How an asteroid might have brought the essential components for life on Earth "blew us away"
