In this Special Feature, we explore the most recent research on how exercise can protect brain health as we age. Recent studies examine the ways in which exercise helps prolong the health span ...
The human brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord, comprises the central nervous system. It consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. The brain controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sensory nervous ...
Woman’s Seizure ‘Saved My Life’ After Learning Her ‘Subtle’ Symptoms Were Signs of Rare Brain Disorder. Vanessa Etienne. December 27, 2024 at 3:16 PM. Charlie Rolstone/SWNS.
A recent lesion mapping study conducted by Barbey and colleagues provides evidence to support the P-FIT theory of intelligence. [54] [55] [56] Brain injuries at an early age isolated to one side of the brain typically results in relatively spared intellectual function and with IQ in the normal range. [57]
The BRAIN Initiative reflects a number of influences, stemming back over a decade. Some of these include: planning meetings at the National Institutes of Health that led to the NIH's Blueprint for Neuroscience Research; [9] workshops at the National Science Foundation (NSF) on cognition, neuroscience, and convergent science, including a 2006 report on "Grand Challenges of Mind and Brain"; [10 ...
Recent research has shown that brain-derived neurotrophic factor and insulin-like growth factor 1 are key mediators of exercise-induced neurogenesis. [ 118 ] [ 119 ] Exercise increases the production of BDNF, as well as the NR2B subunit of the NMDA receptor. [ 118 ]
The pallium is a layer of grey matter that lies on the surface of the forebrain and is the most complex and most recent evolutionary development of the brain as an organ. [44] In reptiles and mammals, it is called the cerebral cortex. Multiple functions involve the pallium, including smell and spatial memory. In mammals, where it becomes so ...
Proof leading to the "mythbuster" of the left-/right-brained concept is increasing as more and more studies are brought to light. Harvard Health Publishing includes a study from the University of Utah in 2013, that exhibited brain scans revealing similarity on both sides of the brain, personality and environmental factors aside.
