The benefits of exercise are limited, disappear if discontinued, and should be an adjunct to talk or drug therapy.

It’s no secret exercise is good for your body—but what about your brain? Linda Overstreet-Wadiche, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Neurobiology and vice chair for Faculty Affairs and Development ...

The connection between physical movement and brain function has emerged as one of neuroscience’s most significant discoveries. The human brain, despite representing only 2% of body weight, consumes ...

Researchers say exercise may be just as beneficial as medication, but caution that more studies are needed ...

Standing on one leg requires the brain to integrate information from the eyes, the vestibular system in the inner ear, and the somatosensory system, which senses body position and ground contact.

Compared to tennis or pickleball, the sport’s smaller courts and longer rallies increase aerobic engagement and ...

Creatine is often associated with hitting the gym and building muscle, but the supplement, typically taken in powder or capsule form, has recently been linked to a variety of other uses and benefits.

New research suggests that consistent aerobic exercise can help keep your brain biologically younger. Adults who exercised regularly for a year showed brains that appeared nearly a year younger than ...
