“It has been shown that movement, especially at high speeds, not only engages motor control but also engages executive function, spatial navigation, and memory abilities. Over time, these linked cognitive demands may have beneficial effects on brain structure and function.”

“The newly grown neurons became functional and integrated with existing neurons. While this is a mouse study, emerging research suggests that both noise and silence have profound effects on the human brain as well.”

“Their performance was particularly poor on a short-term memory test, where the animals turned out to be unable to recognize objects they had seen only an hour prior. Long-term memory retention was also compromised.”

“However, resistance exercise elicits structural changes in brain regions affected by Alzheimer's, including those involved in communication, coordination, and memory, such as the cingulate white matter tracts and the hippocampus.”

“Amyloid beta plaques accumulate outside of neurons in the brain and disrupt synapses (the connections between two neurons that form memories) and is just one way that memory loss occurs in Alzheimer's disease.”

“Mice that ate an olive oil-rich diet had fewer abnormal deposits of tau – a protein associated with Alzheimer's disease – in their brains and performed better on memory tests than mice that didn't eat olive oil.”
