A growing body of research suggests exercise can be beneficial for cognitive health.

Just one 15-minute session of aerobic exercise floods the brain with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein ...

A single exercise session increased electrical activity in a brain region tied to learning and memory, a first-of-its-kind ...

A single session of physical exercise can spawn a boost of neural activity in brain networks that underlie learning and memory, according to a new study led by the University of Iowa. The researchers ...

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 ...

You’ve probably heard someone say exercise is “good for your head.” And you’ve probably nodded, filed it under vaguely true ...

Here's exactly what to do.

Exercise is important for health. Neuroscientists now know how much 150 minutes of weekly cardio can do exactly for the brain ...

One of the brain’s biggest benefits from exercise – the birth of new neurons – may not even require any movement. Instead, the beneficial “packages” circulating in the blood after working out can be ...
