Recent research published in Nature Neuroscience provides a detailed cellular map of how physical activity remodels the brain ...

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 ...

Strong leg muscles do not just keep you upright and mobile. They actively protect your brain, sharpen your thinking, and may ...

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 ...

Exercise has long been linked with stronger brains and reduced risk of dementia and other cognitive diseases. But new research suggests that older adults can significantly improve brain health with ...

Exercise strengthens both the body and the mind, and researchers are uncovering the molecular messengers that make the connection. The messengers can also be transferred from an active mouse to a ...

A new study reveals how exercise slows aging by strengthening communication between the brain, muscles and liver. The research demonstrates that regular physical activity creates a powerful anti-aging ...

You’ve probably heard it before: the brain is a muscle that can be strengthened. It’s an assumption that has spawned a multimillion-dollar computer-game industry of electronic brainteasers and memory ...

Yup, moving your body supports your mind. "Engaging in regular physical activity is crucial because it increases blood flow ...
