Nature Essential for Brain
or this is just why we camp
The January 2, 2009 Boston Globe article, "Nature Essential for the Brain", examines how interaction with nature (or lack of it) affects the brain. Time outside provides relief from the stress of urban life and appears to improve mental functions such as memory, self-control, and focus. It is theorized that humans have a finite amount of attenion, but immersion in nature might have a restorative effect where the brain can relax and replenish itself.
