According to neurologists, the human brain has evolved mainly due to social connections

Social isolation changes the structure of our brains, according to a study published in the renowned journal Neurology. Changes in cognitive abilities have also been observed, with social isolation carrying risks of dementia in older people. The new study is based on the theory of the “social brain”.

According to neurologists, the human brain has evolved mainly due to the social connections we create. Thus, in their absence, the brain suffers.

Scanning research and a number of tests show that people who are socially isolated have poorer cognitive abilities, including memory and reaction time, as well as less gray matter in many parts of the brain.

Researchers also support the idea of ​​health authorities monitoring whether older people have enough social activities in their lives, because in this way they will improve their general health. The study comes at a particularly opportune time, affecting our brains in the long run.
