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

A new study explores exercise mimetics as novel therapeutics for depression by triggering muscle-to-brain signals that support mood regulation and resilience.

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

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 ...

Many people strength train thinking only of building biceps and muscles, but a top neurologist explained how it can be ...

Researchers identify brain neurons that become active after exercise and help determine how much endurance improves with repeated training.

Researchers propose "exercise mimetics" (exercise pills) to treat depression by hacking the muscle-brain axis for those unable to physically exercise.

A new study reveals how exercise slows aging by strengthening communication between the brain, muscles and liver. The research demonstrates that regular physical activity creates a powerful anti-aging ...

A new study has found body fat and muscle mass are strongly linked to apparent brain age. The benefits of exercise on brain health is already widely researched. The Alzheimer’s Association says ...

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, ...

If you need another reason to visit the gym this winter, a new study of almost 1,200 healthy, middle-aged men and women found that those with more muscle mass tended to have younger brains than those ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. She talks about muscle building as a taboo for women throughout history and touches on how women, especially women in midlife and ...
