New research reveals a compelling link between physical activity and improved memory function. Findings published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity indicate ...

Regular physical activity reduces inflammation, lowers stress, improves sleep, and supports hormonal balance, all of which ...

Students practice a procedural skill—knot tying—to investigate if and in what way sleep affects learning and memory in relation to a learning a procedural skill. Sleeping is a behavior that is natural ...
