The research also found that reading poetry，in particular，increases the activities in the right side of the brain，an area concerned with“autobiographical memory”，helping readers to reflect on their own experiences in light of what they have read.The experts said this meant the classics were more useful than self－help books.

　　Philip Davis，an English professor who has worked on the study with the university，will tell a conference this week：“Serious literature acts like a rocket booster(火箭助推器)to the brain.”

　　“The research shows the power of classical literature to shift mental pathways，to create new thoughts，shapes and connections in the young and the old alike.”
