A single exercise session increased electrical activity in a brain region tied to learning and memory, a first-of-its-kind ...

A single session of physical exercise can spawn a boost of neural activity in brain networks that underlie learning and memory, according to a new study led by the University of Iowa. The researchers ...

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 ...

Increasing our level of physical fitness leads to a bigger release of brain-boosting proteins following one session of exercise, finds a new study led by a UCL researcher. The study, published in ...

A UCSF team finds a liver protein, released with exercise, that improves memory in aging and Alzheimer’s disease by repairing the brain’s blood vessels. It's the missing link between exercise and ...

Linda Overstreet-Wadiche, Ph.D., a professor in the University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Neurobiology, says studies show that exercise can significantly improve many aspects of brain ...

Brain workouts can enhance and preserve brain function. Activities like acquiring new skills, solving puzzles, and even playing video games can boost memory and improve brain connectivity. These ...

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 ...

Exercise may sharpen the mind by repairing the brain’s protective shield. Researchers found that physical activity prompts the liver to release an enzyme that removes a harmful protein causing the ...

Most people now have been told that mental activity is good for the brain. I have even posted information that it can build “cognitive reserve” that can delay or reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer’s ...

It’s easy to add to your routine, too.
