Exercise increases blood flow and oxygen to the brain, supporting memory and thinking. Strength training may enhance cognitive performance and slow brain degeneration. Aim for 30-45 minutes of ...

The work reveals that the brain — in mice and, presumably, in humans — is actively involved in the development of endurance, the ability to get better at a physical activity with repeated practice, ...

The connection between physical movement and brain function has emerged as one of neuroscience’s most significant discoveries. The human brain, despite representing only 2% of body weight, consumes ...

Forget crossword puzzles. New government-backed research suggests an “unconscious” brain exercise may do more to shield aging ...

Some exciting new research shows it may be possible to do something to reduce your risk of developing dementia as you grow older. The study found that cognitive training (brain training exercises) can ...

Researchers have identified a specific liver protein produced during exercise that strengthens the brain’s protective barrier and improves memory in aging mice. This finding suggests a potential ...

Research reveals a striking discovery about the human brain and exercise motivation. Scientists have identified distinct patterns of electrical connectivity that separate individuals who eagerly ...

That viral claim that your frontal lobe “isn’t fully developed until 25” turns out to be more myth than milestone. Early ...

It’s no secret exercise is good for your body—but what about your brain? Linda Overstreet-Wadiche, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Neurobiology and vice chair for Faculty Affairs and Development ...
