Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal ...

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them - signaling molecules, nutrients, even ...

Our brains age along with the rest of our bodies, and as they do, they produce fewer new brain cells. Now, researchers have ...

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 ...

Building endurance isn't just about muscles, it's about the brain. A newly discovered neural circuit in the hypothalamus rewires itself after exercise to boost heart and muscle strength.

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

Visual experience triggers the formation of a web of neural connections in different brain areas in order to make sense of the world – and in particular, of feedback connections, which send ...
