Physical activity supports the same brain systems targeted in clinical treatment”— Dr. Stanford Owen GULFPORT, LA, ...

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, ...

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal ...

A protein reinforces the blood–brain barrier, which becomes leaky with age. Exercise prevents brain ageing and memory loss by strengthening the blood–brain barrier, the structure that keeps harmful ...

Researchers identify brain neurons that become active after exercise and help determine how much endurance improves with repeated training.

A series of recent studies has pinpointed the specific molecules and biological pathways through which physical activity protects the brain from aging, disease, and toxic protein buildup. Researchers ...

It turns out we might be building up our brain when we exercise.” Betley is corresponding author of the researchers’ published paper in Neuron, titled “ Exercise-induced activation of ventromedial ...

The effects of exercise would not be nearly as powerful without the input of the brain, according to new research. A study on ...

A new study shows exercise releases a liver enzyme that repairs aging brain blood vessels and restores memory in mice.

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 ...

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 ...
