長期攀岩有助於大腦發展
2013年10月PubMed發佈的一篇文章裏說到
在長期攀岩登山的活動中有關平衡、手眼協調的大腦部位都有增大的痕跡。文章是通過對10位著名登山者及10位對照普通人進行MRI（核磁共振）掃描得出的結論。
This article analyzes whether climbing, a motor activity featured by upward movements by using both feet and hands, generation of new strategies of motor control, maintenance of not stable equilibrium and adoption of long-lasting quadrupedal posture, is able to modify specific brain areas. MRI data of 10 word-class mountain climbers (MC) and 10 age-matched controls, with no climbing experience were acquired.
