“…First, most digital screens are backlit and emit blue light wavelengths. It can suppress melatonin secretion to influence sleep quality (49,50), which may, in turns, affect brain health (51,52). Second, sedentary behavior may increase the risk of some aspects of mental problems, such as depression (14), which may negatively influence cognitive development (53).…”

BackgroundProlonged time on sedentary behavior, especially screen-based sitting time, is associated with unfavorable health indicators in children and adolescents. However, the effects of sedentary behavior on cognitive function remain to be elucidated.ObjectiveThe purpose of this systematic review was to synthesize the evidence on the associations of sedentary behavior with executive function in children and adolescents.MethodsFour electronic databases (i.e., PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and SPORTDiscus) were searched for studies examining the associations between sedentary behavior and executive function in children and adolescents. Study quality was assessed by the NIH Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies.ResultsA total of 1,151 records were initially identified through database searches and other searches. Twelve cross-sectional and four longitudinal studies met the inclusion criteria. Of the 16 studies, seven studies found significant negative associations between sedentary behavior and executive function, and two studies presented positive associations. Eight studies measured sedentary time using accelerometers and showed varied associations between objectively measured sedentary time and executive function. Nine studies measured screen-based sedentary behavior, of which five studies found negative associations of sedentary time with executive function.ConclusionThe available evidence on the associations between sedentary behavior and executive function is not conclusive in children and adolescents. However, screen-based sedentary behavior may be negatively associated with executive function.

“…Sometimes, a combination of these activities makes the brain healthier (Bamidis et al, 2014;Philips 2017). Other methods for keeping the brain healthy include sleeping and short naps (Aribisala et al, 2020;Gais and Born, 2004;Guzman-Marin et al, 2008;Tucker and Fishbein, 2008;Wagner and Born, 2008), stress management (Lupien et al, 2005;Madrigal et al, 2006;Chen et al, 2008), musical training (Parbery-Clark et al, 2011;Tierney and Kraus 2013;Banai and Ahissar, 2013;Miendlarzewska and Trost, 2014) as well as brain teasing and practicing memorization (Hirabayashi and Ogawa 1999;Olichney et al, 2000;Dutch, 2000;Bialystok et al, 2012).…”

We investigated the association between scripture memorization and brain tissue using magnetic resonance imaging techniques.Participants comprised 63 healthy adults between the ages of 35 and 80 years old with no neurological or psychological disorders.Of these, 19 had completely memorized the Quran, 28 had partially memorized parts of Quran while 16, the control group, had not committed the Quran into their memory. White matter, grey matter and cerebrospinal fluid volumes were calculated. The brain tissue volumes of those who memorized the entire Quran and those who memorized only a small portion were compared with the control group using one-way ANOVA implemented in SPSS. There was no significant effect of age between the three groups (p>0.50). The group who completely memorized the Quran had larger grey matter and white matter volumes than the control group.Our results showed that those who memorized scripture had more brain tissues preserved compared with those who had not memorized scripture. These findings suggest that engaging our brains by memorizing scripture may increase brain health.

“…The integrity of WM tracts is also affected by sleep (Yaffe et al, 2016;Baillet et al, 2017;Sexton et al, 2017). Even though total WM volume was not associated with night-time sleep duration or self-evaluated sleep quality in either young or older adults (Y.-R. Lo et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2018;Aribisala et al, 2020), WM integrity impairment in sleep-deprived subjects was detected with the use of DTI. Specifically, short and fragmented sleep was linked with a diminution of WM integrity predominantly in frontotemporal and fronto-subcortical WM tracts in middle-aged and older adults, reflected in decreased FA and increased MD and RD (Yaffe et al, 2016;Baillet et al, 2017;Sexton et al, 2017).…”

Human brain aging is characterized by the gradual deterioration of its function and structure, affected by the interplay of a multitude of causal factors. The sleep, a periodically repeating state of reversible unconsciousness characterized by distinct electrical brain activity, is crucial for maintaining brain homeostasis. Indeed, insufficient sleep was associated with accelerated brain atrophy and impaired brain functional connectivity. Concurrently, alteration of sleep-related transient electrical events in senescence was correlated with structural and functional deterioration of brain regions responsible for their generation, implying the interconnectedness of sleep and brain structure. This review discusses currently available data on the link between human brain aging and sleep derived from various neuroimaging and neurophysiological methods. We advocate the notion of a mutual relationship between the sleep structure and age-related alterations of functional and structural brain integrity, pointing out the position of high-quality sleep as a potent preventive factor of early brain aging and neurodegeneration. However, further studies are needed to reveal the causality of the relationship between sleep and brain aging.
