Forget crossword puzzles. New government-backed research suggests an “unconscious” brain exercise may do more to shield aging ...

A new study that followed participants for two decades found some were up to a quarter less likely to develop a memory ...

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, ...

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from repeated exercise—such as the ability ...

Cognitive training can help improve student engagement and performance, while building a foundation for robust brain health in the future.

Activities like learning a new language as a child or reading, writing, and playing board games later in life all had an impact on Alzheimer’s risk.

Exercise increases blood flow and oxygen to the brain, supporting memory and thinking. Strength training may enhance cognitive performance and slow brain degeneration. Aim for 30-45 minutes of ...

Memory plays a vital role in a child’s learning and overall development. The good news is that it can be strengthened through ...

Research reveals a striking discovery about the human brain and exercise motivation. Scientists have identified distinct patterns of electrical connectivity that separate individuals who eagerly ...

The activity of certain neurons may influence our endurance for exercise, and these could be targeted to help us run faster ...

It’s no secret exercise is good for your body—but what about your brain? Linda Overstreet-Wadiche, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Neurobiology and vice chair for Faculty Affairs and Development ...
