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

When you finish a run, your muscles may feel like they did all the work. But researchers at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) and the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) have discovered that what happens in ...

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

It’s not just in your legs. Scientists have discovered a "fitness switch" in the brain that must be flipped after a workout for your body to actually build endurance.

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 ...

The sensation of profound depletion following a day of intense mental labor has long been dismissed as a subjective ...

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.

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

Research findings are available online in the journal Nature Metabolism. The original story “ Sweating may naturally suppress ...

Physical activity supports the same brain systems targeted in clinical treatment”— Dr. Stanford Owen GULFPORT, LA, ...

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, ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain "waves"—rhythms ...
