加拿大的研究将观鸟与大脑的改变联系起来, 从而提升人们的注意力、记忆力和视觉技能, 建议爱好可以支持长期的大脑健康。 Canadian study links birdwatching to brain changes that boost attention, memory, and visual skills, suggesting the hobby may support long-term brain health.

加拿大的一项研究发现,专家观鸟者有可测量的大脑结构差异,这与更好地关注、记忆和视觉处理有关,这可能是由于活动要求很高的认知任务所致。 A Canadian study finds that expert birdwatchers have measurable brain structure differences linked to better attention, memory, and visual processing, likely due to the activity's demanding cognitive tasks. 核磁共振扫描显示,在与工作记忆和物体识别有关的区域,大脑组织密度较高,专家在识别鸟类方面表现优于新手。 MRI scans showed greater brain tissue density in regions tied to working memory and object recognition, with experts outperforming novices in identifying birds. 虽然研究并不能证明鸟儿能防止认知下降, 但它表明爱好可以通过促进神经可塑性 来支持长期的脑健康。 While the research doesn't prove birding prevents cognitive decline, it suggests the hobby may support long-term brain health by promoting neuroplasticity. 该研究是跨部门的,所以因果关系没有得到证实,而其他生活方式因素可能起到一定作用。 The study is cross-sectional, so causation isn't confirmed, and other lifestyle factors may play a role. 需要开展进一步的纵向研究。 Further longitudinal research is needed.
