As the pandemic grinds on and the holidays loom, many people may be wishing they could get their brains working better. Fortunately, a new, double-blind study finds having a nice, hot cup of cocoa is not only good for the soul--it's also good for the brain. UPI reports British and American researchers say flavanol-rich cocoa drinks can improve brain oxygenation and cognitive performance in healthy adults. Flavanols are small molecules found in many fruits and vegetables, and cocoa, too. The researchers wanted to discover whether flavanols also benefit the brain vasculature, and if that could positively impact cognitive function, The high flavanol cocoa intake led to faster and greater brain oxygenation in 14 of 18 male adults, ages 18-45, along with better performance on complex tests.
Kids that live in poor neighborhoods don't do as well on cognitive function tests as those who live in higher-income areas. An analysis published Tuesday by JAMA also showed that lower-income children have lower "brain volume". According to UPI, higher household income was associated with improved vocabulary, reading skills, and memory. Researchers note the differences are likely due to kids in higher-income homes had more developed prefrontal and hippocampal brain regions. The prefrontal cortex has been linked with behavior, personality, and decision making. While the hippocampus is believed to be involved in learning and memory skills.
Police sirens could be heard blaring through Downtown Manhattan as the new Nissan Police Pursuit 23 made its way to the New York International Auto Show, on Wednesday. The 565-horsepower 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 can power the monstrous vehicle to reach speeds of up to 196 miles per hour and rocket the car from 0 to 60 in 2.7 seconds, so it's no wonder that Nissan's new 'crime-busting' GT-R sports car has been dubbed 'Copzilla'.
