and Human Behavior at UCLA found that older adults using the internet were able to sharpen their mental skills and ward off the decline in function that their peers were facing.
When searching for information on the internet, the researchers spotted key decision-making and reasoning centers of the brain firing. Previous studies have shown that this type of stimulation leads to enhanced cognitive processing and slows the decline in overall brain function."
