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

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 ...

Increasing our level of physical fitness leads to a bigger release of brain-boosting proteins following one session of ...

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 can powerfully influence the brain, but what if the same biological signals could be activated without physical movement?

According to new research, that could be the perfect prescription for dementia prevention. A new study from Johns Hopkins found that one type of brain-training computer game may help reduce the risk ...

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

New research identifies a liver-produced enzyme that explains how physical activity helps defend the brain from age-related cognitive decline.

Here's what you can do now to protect your brain in your 40s, 50s, and beyond.

You know exercise is good for you, but your brain still resists it like it’s punishment rather than reward. The problem isn’t willpower or discipline – it’s that your neural pathways haven’t learned ...
