In an ambitious study, memory and learning abilities improved substantially after exercise among mice with a form of the ...

A brief period of exercise may do more for your brain than you expect. New research led by the University of Iowa shows that even a single workout can rapidly shift how your brain processes memory.

Committing to an exercise regimen isn’t easy, but a younger brain is a strong motivator. When researchers asked middle-aged adults to practice aerobic exercise regularly for a year, their brains ...

The study found no significant cognitive benefits from exercising for older adults. Combining exercise with heart medications did not produce significant cognitive benefits.

A team at the University of California, San Francisco has identified a specific liver-produced enzyme that explains, at the molecular level, how physical exercise protects the aging brain from ...

But anytime you learn new information, you’re strengthening those neuronal connections, and you want to build a reserve.” ...

Using advanced single-nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) and a widely used preclinical model for Alzheimer's disease, researchers from Mass General Brigham and collaborators at SUNY Upstate Medical ...

One of the brain’s biggest benefits from exercise – the birth of new neurons – may not even require any movement. Instead, the beneficial “packages” circulating in the blood after working out can be ...

Following a simple, guideline-based aerobic workout programme for a year could make the brain “measurably younger”, scientists claim in a new study. Researchers found that regularly following the ...

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