Light exercise boosts memory: new study links jogging/yoga to enhanced brain plasticity, activating key neurotransmitters (dopamine, noradrenaline, serotonin) in rats via the hippocampus

Researchers identified two neuron types that trigger REM sleep, forming circuits that connect to brain regions controlling cerebral cortex activation, rapid eye movement, and muscle tone loss

A study on mice found that high-intensity exercise disrupts circadian rhythm, reducing activity and body temperature leading to weight gain, regardless of food intake

Study (n=48) has found combining aerobic exercise with groove rhythm (GR) music can significantly enhance executive function on the brain's prefrontal cortex function and increased activation in the left DLPFC

Researchers studied the effects of natto (a food rich in vitamin K2) on arteriosclerosis in mice: the findings showed consuming natto induced changes in the intestinal microflora, suppressing inflammation and preventing arteriosclerosis

A study on Japanese employees observed that depressive symptoms were most strongly associated with poor work performance, followed by indefinite complaints as lack of appetite and insufficient sleep…

Risk of viral airborne transmission peaks within 5 seconds of face-to-face encounters

Researchers have developed a non-contact technology for simulating a cold sensation that continually generates thermal experiences while maintaining nearly constant skin temperature and without any actual change in temperature.

Researchers, for the first time in a randomized controlled trial, have found nonalcoholic beverage intake significantly reduced alcohol consumption, and this reduction persisted 8 weeks after discontinuing nonalcoholic beverage consumption

Researchers have discovered that oil-degrading bacteria, widely found in the ocean, grow around oil droplets forming dense communities at the oil-water interface

Researchers find the first evidence that changes in pupil size during 10-min of very light exercise can serve as an indicator for the enhancement of cognitive function associated with the prefrontal cortex

One of the parallel worlds cannot be extremely different from the other

Researchers have developed a self-administered mobile application that analyzes speech data as an automatic screening tool for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease with 88% to 91% of accuracy

Researchers have found extracting drawing features from a combination of five drawing tasks -- rather than from any single task alone -- leads to more accurate classification of people with normal cognition…

Researchers develop a method for creating optically active polymers using a helical liquid crystal template, which may allow for future computer and TV displays to operate based on circularly polarized light

Scientists devised a text message mediation robot that can help users control their anger when receiving upsetting news

Scientists have found higher levels of dietary fiber, particularly soluble fiber, are associated with a lower risk of dementia

Minimal Effort Required: A Ten-Minute Run Can Boost Brain Processing | Research News - University of Tsukuba

Scientists have revealed that a non-invasive form of brain stimulation called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, or rTMS, can be used to modulate brain rhythms and cognitive behavior related to "giving-up" during problem solving.

Although aerobic exercise is known to enhance cognitive function and improve mental health, the neurological mechanisms of this link are unknown

Regular physical activity seems to enhance cognition in children who need it most: A recent study shows, physical activity is linked to better cognitive ability, which is in turn related to academic performance in school

Japanese research finds that since 2009 cognitive tests to remove dangerous older drivers from the road lead to increased injuries as the ex-drivers become unprotected road users

Mysterious New Seafloor Species Sheds Light on Early Animal Evolution

Scientists use CRISPR to change the color in the Japanese morning glory flower from violet to white, by disrupting a single gene
