The Effects of Stimulation on Memory and Intelligence
When you lose muscle, what is it that you're actually losing? You're losing fibers. There's probably a loss of activity of satellite cells which will eventually equal muscle loss. In the area related to memory of intelligence, in an area of the brain called the hippocampus, you can actually develop new neurons. It's kind of like a self-repair of the brain. But it's only happens if you use it. If you don't use your brain, this doesn't happen and the brain just goes down.
