Adults who did regular aerobic exercise for a year had brains that appeared about one year younger on MRI scans than people ...

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 ...

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, ...

You know exercise is good for you, but your brain still resists it like it’s punishment rather than reward. The problem isn’t willpower or discipline – it’s that your neural pathways haven’t learned ...

In a new study, people who followed a moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise routine for a year had a noticeable drop in brain age, while those who stuck to their usual fitness routine saw a slight ...

A long-running study following thousands of older adults suggests that a relatively brief period of targeted brain training ...

When you sit too much, your brain function is compromised because there is less blood flow, which decreases the amount of oxygen that reaches the brain.
