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, ...

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 ...

I tend to feel more focused and productive after a nice workout session, even if it’s on the shorter side. Research highlights how exercise can boost brain function across all ages, including ...

(CNN) — Scientists have hailed the benefits of exercising early in life to lower the risk of your brain degenerating later. But new research suggests that even once you’re 45 or older, it’s not too ...

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

Linda Overstreet-Wadiche, Ph.D., a professor in the University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Neurobiology, says studies show that exercise can significantly improve many aspects of brain ...

The activity of certain neurons may influence our endurance for exercise, and these could be targeted to help us run faster ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Could pedaling a bike rewire the brain of someone with Parkinson’s disease, easing the tremors and muscle stiffness caused by the neurological condition? Past research studies ...

It turns out we might be building up our brain when we exercise.” Betley is corresponding author of the researchers’ published paper in Neuron, titled “ Exercise-induced activation of ventromedial ...

Exercise doesn’t just challenge the body; it challenges how the brain interprets effort. Scientists discovered that vibrating tendons before cycling allowed people to push harder without feeling ...
