The brain is the most complex organ in our bodies, and while scientists are pretty sure what functions different parts of the brain are responsible for, but for many brain-related diseases still remain as a mystery. However, there is one thing for certain, the secrets to keep our brain healthy is to stay young at our hearts. Data from a group of South Korean scientists shows that people who think they are younger than their actual age are more likely to score better on memory tests. They were also less likely to be depressed. People who feel younger have a younger brain structure. And those who feel older may have come to terms with their true age, a perception that limits their actions and makes them less active, further affecting their cognitive abilities. If you have any thoughts on this theory, please let us know. We’ll see you tomorrow!

They are very committed to bringing rich content to Chinese users by introducing exciting global music and incubating independent musicians. In addition, with the arrival of the 5G era, music consumption scenarios for users will be more diversified as memberships, paid albums, songs and live streaming are becoming the main forms of payment. According to Statista, a German online data portal, China is a fertile market with about 750 million digital music users as of 2019.
