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

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

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

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, ...

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

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 ...

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.

A new study reveals how exercise slows aging by strengthening communication between the brain, muscles and liver. The research demonstrates that regular physical activity creates a powerful anti-aging ...

Exercise is just as good for the brain as it is for the body, a growing body of research is showing. And one kind in particular—aerobic exercise—appears to be king. “Back in the day, the majority of ...

A study has revealed that exercise not only strengthens muscles but also trains brain neurons. According to research published in the international academic journal *Neuron* on the 13th, a team from ...

If you need another reason to visit the gym this winter, a new study of almost 1,200 healthy, middle-aged men and women found that those with more muscle mass tended to have younger brains than those ...

Here’s what a neurologist had to say about a recent study.
