Do you notice a difference in your brainpower based on the season? It could very well be that cold temperatures or steamy, humid days can make a difference in how well you think and even in the strength of your short-term memory, reports HealthDay News of research from the University of Liege in Belgium. The study foundt hat the brain scans showed attention skills were best near the summer solstice in June and worst near the winter solstice in December. Short-term memory was best in the fall and worst in the spring. Here's an important note: the differences in brain function are not significant enough for us to notice in day-to-day life. However, the amount of brain activity did change and she insists that the season is most likely responsible for that. How do the seasons affect our brainpower? It's not totally clear, but the researchers think it is multiple factors, such as seasonal changes in humidity, temperature, the length of days and even social interaction between people that are involved.
