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

A study in the Alzheimer's Association research journal found that simple brain speed exercises were linked to lowering the risk of dementia by 26% at a 20-year follow-up.

The connection between physical movement and brain function has emerged as one of neuroscience’s most significant discoveries. The human brain, despite representing only 2% of body weight, consumes ...

When mice exercise, their livers release GPLD1 into the bloodstream. The enzyme travels to the blood vessels surrounding the brain and removes TNAP from the surface of those cells. By trimming away ...

As a parent, a spouse, and someone who works full time at my job and pretty much full time at keeping a household running, I often feel like I have 20 tabs open in my brain at once. There are always ...

Exercise strengthens both the body and the mind, and researchers are uncovering the molecular messengers that make the connection. The messengers can also be transferred from an active mouse to a ...

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 ...

I tend to feel more focused and productive after a nice workout session, even if it’s on the shorter side. Research highlights how exercise can boost brain function across all ages, including ...

Scientists have hailed the benefits of exercising early in life to lower the risk of your brain degenerating later. But new research suggests that even once you’re 45 or older, it’s not too late to ...

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, ...

When you finish a run, your muscles may feel like they did all the work. But researchers at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) and ...
