When you sit too much, your brain function is compromised because there is less blood flow, which decreases the amount of oxygen that reaches the brain.

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from repeated exercise—such as the ability ...

The activity of certain neurons may influence our endurance for exercise, and these could be targeted to help us run faster for longer ...

A new study suggests that generosity may be more than a moral lesson—it could be shaped by how different parts of the brain work together. By gently stimulating two brain regions and syncing their ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical maps divide the brain into regions according to structural variations in the ...

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, ...

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

Hesitation is not a flaw – it’s a critical feature for navigating an unpredictable world. Whether you’re a figure skater ...

A brief afternoon nap may reset key brain processes, helping the mind stay flexible, focused, and ready to learn.

Positive thinking may boost the body’s defenses against disease. Increasing activity in a brain region that controls motivation and expectation, specifically the brain’s reward system, is linked with ...

BISC is an ultra-thin neural implant that creates a high-bandwidth wireless link between the brain and computers. Its tiny single-chip design packs tens of thousands of electrodes and supports ...
