Increasing physical fitness leads to a larger release of BDNF and better prefrontal cortex activity after a single session of exercise.

Researchers have investigated the impact of 10-min very light exercise on pupil size and prefrontal function. Their findings provide the first evidence that changes in pupil size during exercise can ...

Increasing our level of physical fitness leads to a bigger release of brain-boosting proteins following one session of ...

Starting a new exercise routine does more than just build muscle and cardiovascular endurance, as a recent study shows it also trains the brain to release larger amounts of a restorative protein. The ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Listening to rhythmic music, particularly music with a pronounced groove, elicits a heightened sense of excitement, prompting individuals to instinctively move their bodies in sync with ...

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

Many people know that exercise is good for the body. It can strengthen the heart, improve muscle health, and help control weight. However, scientists are also learning that physical activity may be ...

Physical exertion combined with deep concentration can severely slow down human reaction times. A recent trial reveals that ...

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 ...

My neuroscientist father was always quick to admit that despite decades of brain research, he still didn't really know how certain lifestyle choices and daily habits improved or diminished cognitive ...
