Green Environments for Sustainable Brains: Parameters Shaping Adaptive Neuroplasticity and Lifespan Neurosustainability—A Systematic Review and Future Directions
M. H. Khalil
At a pivotal moment of rising urbanisation and public-health challenges, this systematic review by Mohamed Hesham Khalil shows that exposure to green environments—from before birth to late adulthood—is linked to positive, region-specific brain changes. Forests produced stronger effects than blue or urban greens, while residential greenness within a 300–500 m buffer (with sky visibility) was consistently beneficial; biophilic interiors remain a key research gap.
