Drug addiction carries an extremely high risk of relapse, as cravings can be reignited by minor stimuli even long after one has stopped using. Previously, this phenomenon was attributed to a decline ...

Increasing physical fitness leads to a larger release of BDNF and better prefrontal cortex activity after a single session of exercise.

Starting a new exercise routine does more than just build muscle and cardiovascular endurance, as a recent study shows it also trains the brain to release larger amounts of a restorative protein. The ...

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

Enhancing prefrontal cortex (PFC) cognitive functions requires identifying suitable exercises that increase cerebral blood flow. A recent study using functional near-infrared spectroscopy found that ...

Researchers identify a neural "fingerprint" in the brain that predicts how accurately we can size up the intentions and strategies of others.
