A fist full of neurons
According to a paper from Montclair State University, clenching your
right hand may help form a stronger memory of an event or action, and clenching
your left may help you recollect the memory later. Based on people memorising
and recalling words from a list of 72 words, the findings suggest that some
simple body movements, by temporarily changing the way the brain functions, can
improve memory. Clenching the right fist may activate a brain region that is
involved in storing memories, while squeezing the left hand may trigger an area
dealing with retrieving information. So why don’t boxers never forget?
