Playmates and toys will help increase the protein of the brain drive to make children smarter

1. Playmates and toys will help increase the protein of the brain drive to make children smarter
Children growing up in the environment of playmates or toys, more active brain function,
memory and learning ability will improve. Japanese scientists found the animal experiments, this
may be the increase in kinesin can make brain cells more external stimuli to promote synapse
formation, make the brain more active.
University of Tokyo researchers report in Scientific American magazine "neurons" that placed
them in a box in a variety of toys, 15 mice were placed inside the feeding of four weeks, at the
same time did not put any toys in another three mice were kept the box. Memory and learning
ability to examine two groups of mice, the researchers gave mice repeatedly swimming in the
pool, records they reach the time of the "islands" in the pool. They found that mice living in the
environment to stimulate more, with the swimming increase in the number, the faster faster.
Investigated the role of the state of the two groups of mice brain nerve cells and protein, the
researchers found that mice living environment to stimulate more responsible for the transport
of glutamate and other neurotransmitter kinesin KIF1A "synapses increase, and the more active
role as the nerve cells of binding sites has also increased.
The researchers used genetic manipulation to reduce the brain of mice KIF1A "The results
showed that even in the environment to stimulate a lot of culture, learning ability in mice will not
improve.
The researchers believe that this study helps to explain why playmates or toys will make children
smarter, and examine ways to improve memory and learning ability of the method is also helpful.
