With the advent of navigation apps, people who are looking for a place, whether walking or driving, are used to turning on navigation and following the navigation guidelines. If you come to a new environment, if you don’t open the navigation, you will lack some kind of A sense of security. However, recent studies have shown that if the navigation is much more used, the brain will become dull and will decline, and people will become stupid!
When using navigation, the human brain hippocampus will experience 'lazy'
In the structure of the human brain, there is a kind of stuff called 'hippocampus', which is devoted to memory. Some people in life have strong memory, which is largely related to the activities of the hippocampus. Imagine if people are entering In a new environment, relying on navigation guidelines throughout the journey, then the hippocampus will think that there is nothing to remember and 'lazy', no longer active.
If you get rid of the navigation, then the hippocampus will become active, try to remember the streets, corners, buildings, etc. in the new environment, and strive to not get lost. The active hippocampus, the development of brain activity, and memory have certain benefit.
Pre-frontal cortex function is turned off when navigating
In the human brain structure, the prefrontal cortex is the key part of the human brain responsible for command and control. The reason why people in life are decisive in decision-making and deep in thinking is because the prefrontal cortex is often active. If in a strange environment In the middle of getting lost without navigation, the human body will send a 'help signal' to the prefrontal cortex in the brain. After receiving the signal, the prefrontal cortex will plan for the lost person according to the information memorized by the hippocampus. Way of the ground.
And if people use navigation throughout the way, the function of the prefrontal cortex will be turned off and no longer responsible for decision making.
In summary, without navigation, the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex are active. If you rely on navigation for a long time, the area in the brain will gradually shrink, eventually leading to the decline of memory and decision-making ability. It is a mediocrity. Some people say: 'My intellectual peak is in high school', that is because in high school, the brain is much more active, the brain is always active. After the society, people have less chance of using the brain. The mobile phone is playing much, the brain is gradually degraded, and the IQ of the person is reduced.
All in all, Lamarck's 'use and retreat' not only applies to the process of species change, but also applies to the evolution of the human brain. So, in our normal life, study, work, don't act as a robot, don't listen to the wind. It’s rain, knowing how to think, being good at summing up, more important than anything else.
