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, ...

A large, 20-year trial showed that speedy cognitive exercises could reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia. The question is, could these tasks be adapted into video games?

Cognitive decline is not an inevitable consequence of getting older, and actively engaging our minds can significantly impact our ability to think clearly, remember information, and adapt to new ...

Building endurance isn't just about muscles, it's about the brain. A newly discovered neural circuit in the hypothalamus rewires itself after exercise to boost heart and muscle strength.

Regular strength training may help slow biological brain ageing, according to a new GeroScience study involving over 2,500 participants.

Here’s what a neurologist had to say about a recent study.

Remember jumping rope on the playground? That simple activity you enjoyed as a kid turns out to be one of the most powerful brain-boosting exercises you can do. While most people pick up a jump rope ...

What if your brain could improve faster than you think? Here’s how a 12-week plan can boost focus, memory, and mental energy.

Researchers followed 100 participants over 8 weeks.

One of the brain’s biggest benefits from exercise – the birth of new neurons – may not even require any movement. Instead, the beneficial “packages” circulating in the blood after working out can be ...

We talk a lot about exercise in terms of calories burned or miles logged, but let’s pivot. What if the most compelling reason to get moving has nothing to do with your waistline and everything to do ...

As a neurobiologist trained in brain physiology, a fitness enthusiast and a mom, I spend hours at the local pool during the summer. It’s not unusual to see children gleefully splashing and swimming ...
