Systematic juggling enlarges certain areas of the brain, according to a 2013 study in the journal Nature. After three novices were trained to throw balls for three months, the amount of brown matter in the temporal lobe and behind the intra-parietal sulcus (these areas that process visual information and motor functions) increased. "Juggling - and any other activity that requires the work of gross and fine motor skills, orientation in space and recognition of sequences - will make your brain work hard, waking up all the sleeping areas until then."
