It’s easy to add to your routine, too.

A study in the Alzheimer's Association research journal found that simple brain speed exercises were linked to lowering the risk of dementia by 26% at a 20-year follow-up.

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 ...

When mice exercise, their livers release GPLD1 into the bloodstream. The enzyme travels to the blood vessels surrounding the brain and removes TNAP from the surface of those cells. By trimming away ...

A large, long-term study found that playing a brain training video game may help protect the brain against dementia for decades. Experts say the findings are the strongest evidence yet that cognitive ...

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 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 ...

As a parent, a spouse, and someone who works full time at my job and pretty much full time at keeping a household running, I often feel like I have 20 tabs open in my brain at once. There are always ...

Linda Overstreet-Wadiche, Ph.D., a professor in the University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Neurobiology, says studies show that exercise can significantly improve many aspects of brain ...
