The effects of exercise would not be nearly as powerful without the input of the brain, according to new research. A study on ...

The activity of certain neurons may influence our endurance for exercise, and these could be targeted to help us run faster ...

Researchers identify brain neurons that become active after exercise and help determine how much endurance improves with repeated training.

The work reveals that the brain — in mice and, presumably, in humans — is actively involved in the development of endurance, the ability to get better at a physical activity with repeated practice, ...

Studies on the neurons of mice suggest our own human endurance may have more to do with the brain than our physique.

Common sense tells us that when the body is dehydrated, physical performance declines. Athletes and coaches have long known that even modest fluid loss can hurt endurance and speed. However, research ...

It turns out we might be building up our brain when we exercise.” Betley is corresponding author of the researchers’ published paper in Neuron, titled “ Exercise-induced activation of ventromedial ...
