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 ...

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 ...

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

A new study shows that improving your cardiovascular endurance changes your neural chemistry. Fitter individuals release ...

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

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 ...

Researchers from Waseda University investigated the effects of seven types of light-intensity, short-duration exercises and found that all exercises, except static stretching with monotonous movements ...

Cognitive functions, also known as intellectual functions, encompass thinking, understanding, memory, language, computation, and judgment, and are performed in the cerebrum. The prefrontal cortex (PFC ...
