09.01.2022 Reading a wide range of genres creates new pathways in the brain and improves problem solving skills. A study by Michigan State University found that Nobel Prize winning scientists are almost three times more likely (2.85 times to be precise) than the average scientist to have an artistic or crafty hobby that is unrelated to their field of expertise. The reason for this is brain cross-training. Reading and immersing ourselves in something completely different from our work,... activates regions of the brain we are not in the habit of using. The more diverse books we read, the more we are able to think in diverse ways. -- Dr Helena Popovic is a best-selling author and leading authority on neuroplasticity and improving brain function. Over the next few weeks we'll be sharing her favourite benefits of reading, backed by neuroscience. We hope you enjoy these fascinating facts!

09.01.2022 Happy reading, South Australia!
