Do you have a hobby? Is it a creative one or involving attending exhibitions, museums or perusing beautiful books? Notice how you feel so good after these activities? It is no surprise that engaging with art can be likened to a “neural workout” because it stimulates brain activity and promotes neuroplasticity which is the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. This process enhances cognitive flexibility, problem-solving skills, and overall brain function. But wait.. it’s true! ‘The artist emerges: Visual art learning alters neural structure and function’ is a study based article in the Science Direct journal by
Alexander Schlegel and colleagues highlighting this wonderful fact. Get your pencils out! Louise regularly draws our clinic mascots. Your welcome to do a quick sketch next time your in our rooms. 🙂🦮🐕🐾
