A UCSF team finds a liver protein, released with exercise, that improves memory in aging and Alzheimer’s disease by repairing ...

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 ...

Researchers found that regularly following the exercise regimen for a year led to participants’ brains appearing nearly a ...

A study finds that people who did one specific form of brain training in the 1990s were less likely to be diagnosed with dementia over the next 20 years.

A series of recent studies has pinpointed the specific molecules and biological pathways through which physical activity protects the brain from aging, disease, and toxic protein buildup. Researchers ...

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.

A long-running study following thousands of older adults suggests that a relatively brief period of targeted brain training ...

A simple brain-training exercise could reduce people's risk of developing dementia by 25 percent, a study said Monday, but ...

The work reveals that the brain — in mice and, presumably, in humans — is actively involved in the development of endurance, the ability to get better at a physical activity with repeated practice, ...

The effects of exercise would not be nearly as powerful without the input of the brain, according to new research. A study on ...

The electrical signals rippling across the brain during and after physical activity offer a measurable window into how ...

Adults who did regular aerobic exercise for a year had brains that appeared about one year younger on MRI scans than people ...
