A growing body of neuroscience and epidemiological research demonstrates that time spent in green environments, parks, gardens, woodlands, and tree-lined streets, produces measurable changes in brain function, stress hormones, and cardiovascular health. These are not vague wellness claims. They are dose-dependent, replicable findings with identified neural mechanisms. This fully referenced article explores the relationship between greenness and brain health, the minimum effective dose, and the equity implications of unequal access to vegetation.
