Abstract in brief
- A one-hour walk in nature decreases amygdala activity, a brain region linked to stress, in women but not in men, indicating women may benefit more from exposure to natural environments.
- The study found that women showed improved performance on arithmetic tasks after walking in nature, while men performed better after walking in urban environments, highlighting gender-specific responses to different settings.
- These findings suggest that considering sex differences is important in understanding how natural and urban environments affect brain function and stress, which could influence urban planning to include more green spaces.]
