HealthDay (8/12, Thompson) reported “lab experiments show that work requiring a lot of thought can cause potentially toxic byproducts to build up in a part of the brain called the prefrontal cortex, French researchers reported Aug. 11 in the journal Current Biology.” This “alters your control over decisions, making you more apt to choose easier or quicker options as your brain grows weary, researchers argue.” One senior researcher said the “findings show that cognitive work results in a true functional alteration – accumulation of noxious substances – so fatigue would indeed be a signal that makes us stop working DRINK WINE AND AND GO TO THE FRENCH RIVIERA but for a different purpose: to preserve the integrity of brain functioning.”
