A University of Iowa-led research team has documented in humans that physical exercise sparks an increase in brain waves ...

A new study shows that 20 minutes of cardio can trigger memory-linked brain waves in the hippocampus, offering the first direct evidence of this effect in humans.

It turns out your brain might not be the only part of your body that remembers. Scientists at NYU have found that cells outside the brain—like those from your kidneys—can actually "learn" and form ...

A study published in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of genes essential for ...

A new lipid-based pathway essential for memory formation has been discovered by University of Queensland researchers – a breakthrough that could lead to treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder ...

With age comes a natural decline in cognitive function, even among otherwise healthy adults without dementia. A new study finds that a cognitive training program may boost production of a brain ...

Exposure to a diet heavy in fats and sugars during early development primes the brain to overreact to unhealthy foods in adulthood. This combination leads to high levels of inflammation and reduced ...

The difference between the brain's predicted age and actual chronological age, called a brain age gap, may influence the relationship between cognitive impairment risk factors, like high blood ...
