According to a new study from the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Behavior at UCLA, using the Internet and other types of communication technology can boost aging brains.

According to principal investigator Dr. Gary Small, a professor at Semel and holder of UCLA's Parlow-Solomon Chair on Aging, the research is the first to look at the impact of Internet search activity on brain function. The results of the research will be formally published in an upcoming issue of the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry.
