A study finds that people who did one specific form of brain training in the 1990s were less likely to be diagnosed with ...

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.

A study in the Alzheimer's Association research journal found that simple brain speed exercises were linked to lowering the ...

One may dismiss it as a pass time, but brain exercises are now emerging as powerful tools for preserving your cognitive ...

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