As the new field of environmental neuroscience proves, exposure to nature isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity</p><p>by Sam Pyrah<br>Mon 27 Nov 2023 05.00 EST </p><p>"You are probably aware of studies showing that green (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/vegetated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vegetated</span></a>) and blue (moving <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>water</span></a>) environments are associated with a reduction in stress, improved mood, more positive emotions and decreases in anxiety and rumination. But there is growing evidence that nature exposure also benefits cognitive function – all the processes involved in gaining knowledge and understanding, including perception, memory, reasoning, judgment, imagination and problem-solving.
