But, Gregory Bratman,of Stanford University, has found evidence that nature may impact our mood (心情) in other ways, too. In one 2015 study, Bratman and his colleagues chose 60 volunteers to take a 50-minute walk in either a natural setting or an urban setting. Before and after the walk, the volunteers were assessed on their emotional state and on cognitive (认知的) measures, such as how well they could perform tasks requiring short-term memory. Results showed that those who walked in nature experienced less anxiety and rumination ( focused attention on unsatisfying side of oneself), as well as more positive emotions, in comparison to the urban walkers. They also improved their performance on the memory tasks. In another study in 2017, he and his colleagues furthered these findings by focusing on how walking in nature affects rumination—which has been associated with the onset of anxiety—while also using fMRI technology to look at brain activity. Volunteers who took a 90-minute walk in either a natural setting or an urban setting had their brains scanned (扫描) before and after their walks and were surveyed on self-reported rumination levels. Even so, volunteers who walked in a natural setting reported decreased rumination after the walk, and they showed increased activity in the subgenual prefrontal cortex, an area
