About a decade ago, neuroscientists at the University College London published some fascinating research on the brain size ...

In a world-first breakthrough, scientists have shown that 10 weeks of brain exercises using a game-like app are enough to ...

The reason for this cerebral shift is neuroplasticity—or the brain’s ability to change and restructure itself. Every time the brain processes new information, neurons fire, new pathways form, and the ...

Researchers measured acetylcholine production in participants' brains at the beginning and end of the 10-week trial.

To boost your brain, you also need to boost your body. As I explained in my previous article, for optimal brain power you need to increase your brain’s neuroplasticity–your brain’s ability to grow and ...

A recent study (Brüchle et al., 2021) from Ruhr-Universität Bochum's Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy in Germany shows that a three-week physical activity intervention supports the remission of ...

A McGill University-led clinical trial is the first in humans to show online brain training exercises can improve brain ...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by the loss of dopamine and the disruption of brain circuits (basal ganglia and cortex) that are responsible for normal cognitive and motor performance.

A new study suggests that a therapy that combines virtual reality and treadmill exercise dramatically lowers the incidence of falling among Parkinson's patients by changing the brain's behavior and ...

The brain's ability to adapt and form new neural connections allows it to recover from injury and maintain cognitive function into old age. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to adapt and ...
