Abstract

Background: Urban living has been extensively linked to schizophrenia, but it remains uncertain which specific environmental factors are accounted for in this epidemiological finding, as well as how they influence how the brain develops.

Purpose: To see the effect of urban settings on cognitive function and brain health.

Methodology: We examined a potential correlation of urban upbringing in the human brain, utilizing preclinical data for permanent neurological consequences associated with initial social anxiety.

Results: The level of population density, accessibility, road connectivity, the quantity of transit stops near the residence, land use mix, green space, neighbourhood resources, and the general quality of architecture in the surrounding area all showed a generally positive association with adults’ cognitive abilities.

Conclusion: The level of population density, accessibility, road connectivity, the quantity of transit stops near the residence, land use mix, green space, neighbourhood resources, and the general quality of architecture in the surrounding area all showed a generally positive association with adults’ cognitive abilities.
