Studies on the neurons of mice suggest our own human endurance may have more to do with the brain than our physique.

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from repeated exercise—such as the ability ...

Exercise has big benefits for the brain, but the exact reasons why have been mysterious. Now, new studies suggest that exercised muscles release brain-boosting substances into the blood — and at least ...

Remember jumping rope on the playground? That simple activity you enjoyed as a kid turns out to be one of the most powerful brain-boosting exercises you can do. While most people pick up a jump rope ...

Doctors, researchers, scientists--even ancient philosophers--have long claimed exercise works like a miracle drug. Now they have proof ...

Here’s what a neurologist had to say about a recent study.

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 ...

Science has confirmed that exercise is good for the brain. It increases blood flow, inhibits stress hormones, and stimulates the release of “feel-good” endorphins. One way exercise is thought to yield ...
