Sitting too much may affect brain and memory, study says

The video discusses a study by UCLA researchers on the impact of sedentary behavior on brain health, particularly focusing on the medial temporal lobe (MTL), which is crucial for memory formation. The study involved 35 participants aged 45 to 75, examining their physical activity and sitting habits. MRI scans revealed that prolonged sitting is linked to thinning of the MTL, and physical activity alone cannot counteract these effects.
