A new study shows for the first time that low and high exercise intensities differentially influence brain function. Continue reading “High and low exercise intensity found to influence brain function differently”
Many leading concepts in modern neuroscience find their origin in the speculation of ancient Greek philosophers and physicians. Continue reading “Greek philosophy and the birth of neuroscience”
Sleep states are active processes that support reorganisation of brain circuitry. This makes sleep especially important for children, whose brains are developing and reorganizing rapidly. Continue reading “Children’s mental health is affected by sleep duration”
Mothers’ and babies’ brains can work together as a ‘mega-network’ by synchronising brain waves when they interact. Continue reading “Mothers’ and babies’ brains ‘more in tune’ when mother is happy”
Dr. Sowell and her team at The Saban Research Institute of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles hypothesized that children in lower income families could be particularly vulnerable to the effects of living in high lead-risk environments. Continue reading “Risk of lead exposure linked to decreased brain volume in adolescents”
A study in Mayo Clinic Proceedings from the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases provides new evidence of an association between cardiorespiratory fitness and brain health, particularly in gray matter and total brain volume — regions of the brain involved with cognitive decline and aging. Continue reading “New study finds exercising is good for our brain’s gray matter”
