Abstract

In recent years, the effects of art on the human brain and cognitive function have been attracting attention. However, the relationship between the brain structure of healthy middle-aged people and artistic activity remained unclear. In this study, a cross-sectional analysis of 73 middle-aged men and women who considered themselves healthy revealed that gray matter volume (GMV) of the putamen and inferior temporal gyrus correlated with aesthetic appreciation measured by questionnaire. This is the first study to show that art may connect to more people's brain structures than previously thought.

审美与壳核和颞下回呈正相关。

近年来，艺术对人类大脑和认知功能的影响一直备受关注。然而，健康中年人的大脑结构与艺术活动之间的关系尚不清楚。本研究对73名自认为健康的中年男性和女性进行横断面分析，通过问卷调查发现壳核和颞下回灰质体积（GMV）与审美能力相关。这是第一个表明艺术可能比以前认为的与更多的人的大脑结构联系在一起的研究。

期刊介绍： Behavioural Brain Research is an international, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the publication of articles in the field of behavioural neuroscience, broadly defined. Contributions from the entire range of disciplines that comprise the neurosciences, behavioural sciences or cognitive sciences are appropriate, as long as the goal is to delineate the neural mechanisms underlying behaviour. Thus, studies may range from neurophysiological, neuroanatomical, neurochemical or neuropharmacological analysis of brain-behaviour relations, including the use of molecular genetic or behavioural genetic approaches, to studies that involve the use of brain imaging techniques, to neuroethological studies. Reports of original research, of major methodological advances, or of novel conceptual approaches are all encouraged. The journal will also consider critical reviews on selected topics.
