21、esearchers at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain sizes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs.Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the sizes of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with thin

As we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls tasks like eating and breathing, does not contract（萎缩） with age.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction using the head.The findings show that
23、contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those with least possibility, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors.
