Decades after a brief period of brain training, researchers observed unexpected differences in cognitive health among older adults. The findings hint that targeted mental exercises may play a role in ...

Repeated exercise sessions on a treadmill strengthen the wiring in a mouse’s brain, making certain neurons quicker to activate. Researchers found that this ‘rewiring’ was essential for mice to ...

Exercise pumps up your muscles — but it might also be pumping up your neurons. According to a study published today in Neuron 1, repeated exercise sessions on a treadmill strengthen the wiring in a ...

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from repeated exercise—such as the ability ...

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study publishing February 12 in the Cell Press journal Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from ...

Studies on the neurons of mice suggest our own human endurance may have more to do with the brain than our physique. Regular exercise strengthens muscles and improves endurance—but new research ...
