The seasons affect how we feel - and even how we think. In one study, researchers found that people performed better on certain cognitive tests in summer and fall than in winter and spring - a difference equivalent to nearly five cognitive years. Scientists believe this may be linked to factors like serotonin levels, light exposure, and seasonal gene expression.
While the exact mechanisms are still being studied, the takeaway is clear: our environment can influence how we think and feel. That makes it a great time to engage your brain with fresh focus.
Top takeaways:
☀️ Cognitive performance varies with the seasons
☀️ Light and mood may play a role in how we think
☀️ Seasonal rhythms are natural - your training can be, too
