Check the brain's response when people write

German researchers have found that the brain region is strong when we compose stories or write.

Recently, researchers at Greifswald University (Germany) conducted an experiment to find out how professional writers' brains work and even when we are writing.

Accordingly, neurologist Martin Lotze and colleagues invited 48 volunteers to participate in the trial. 20 of them are professional writers and the remaining 28 have no experience in writing.

They are required to perform two tasks. First, they have to copy some documents. Now, experts will use magnetic resonance function (fMRI) to scan the brains of the participants.

Later, he asked the volunteers to produce a short story created by him. They will have a minute to plan, give ideas and two minutes to show the content.

When the volunteers came up with the idea for the plot, the section of the brain processing area worked hard. This means they can imagine scenes to write in their heads.

After the participants started writing, the hippocampus - the hippocampus region - the memory-related brain region began to function. Mr. Lotze said that it is possible for writers or writers to recall real events and events and use the brain related to memory to match story situations.

However, experts find that there is a difference between writers and beginners. Mr. Lotze said: "I think both groups use different strategies ." For amateurs, they can imagine, drawing as much detail as a movie in their heads and experts will use the voice to revive the content.

Not only that, the central part of the brain (caudate nucleus) is also active . This part of the brain plays an important role in activities that require a lot of training such as music, sports, composing .

Research has provided us with insight into the activities within the human brains of professional writers.

The research results are published in the journal NeuroImage.
