Virtual Team Brain Storm Update!








This week Team Brain Storm studied how exercise can improve brain function.




Check out this research:
In aging humans the cortex and hippocampus atrophy [19] and memory function declines [20]. These deleterious consequences of aging might be attenuated by exercise [6]. Physically fit aged individuals, identified by self-report of activity level, performed better on measures such as reasoning, working memory, vocabulary and reaction time than their sedentary counterparts [21]. (Pragg, 2009)
