A UCSF team finds a liver protein, released with exercise, that improves memory in aging and Alzheimer’s disease by repairing the brain’s blood vessels. It's the missing link between exercise and ...

If you’ve been putting off that morning jog or skipping the gym, you might want to lace up those sneakers sooner rather than later. Scientists have finally zeroed in on the "golden window" where ...

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 ...

The exercise routine that scientists say can make your brain ‘measurably younger’ - Exercise could be acting through mechanisms that haven’t been captured yet in studies, researchers say ...

Physical exertion combined with deep concentration can severely slow down human reaction times. A recent trial reveals that ...

Data are limited, however. In mice, ingesting exercise mimetics appeared to improve depressive-like behaviors, and the ...

Committing to an exercise regimen isn’t easy, but a younger brain is a strong motivator. When researchers asked middle-aged adults to practice aerobic exercise regularly for a year, their brains ...

Exercise may sharpen the mind by repairing the brain’s protective shield. Researchers found that physical activity prompts the liver to release an enzyme that removes a harmful protein causing the ...

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

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 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.
