Exercise and the Brain: The Neuroscience of Fitness Explored
WEBMay 13, 2023 · Learn how exercise impacts the brain and nervous system, from stimulating neurogenesis and mood-regulating neurotransmitters to enhancing cognitive functions and sleep quality. Exercise can also help manage stress by increasing norepinephrine and endorphin levels, chemicals that moderate the brain’s response to stress.
The Science Behind Why Hobbies Can Improve Our Mental Health
WEBFeb 14, 2021 · Hobbies can help reduce depression, boost dopamine, and prevent anhedonia by activating the reward system in the brain. Learn how social prescribing and behavioural activation can use hobbies as non-medical interventions for mental health.
What Happens in Our Brain When We Die? - Neuroscience News
WEBFeb 22, 2022 · A study of a dying patient's brain activity reveals changes in gamma oscillations, which are involved in memory retrieval and near-death experiences. The findings challenge the assumption of brain inactivity after cardiac arrest and suggest the brain may replay life events before death.
Stronger Brain Activity After Writing on Paper Than on Tablet or ...
WEBMar 19, 2021 · A study by the University of Tokyo found that writing on paper increases brain activity and memory recall compared to writing on tablet or smartphone. Paper notebooks have more complex spatial and tactile information that enhances learning and creativity, while digital devices are uniform and disappearing.
A New Theory in Physics Claims to Solve the Mystery of …
WEBAug 11, 2022 · A new study proposes that consciousness is a relativistic phenomenon that depends on the frame of reference of the observer. The authors use mathematical tools from physics to explain how different measurements of the same brain activity can manifest different properties of consciousness.
Common antibiotic may increase nerve damage and peripheral …
WEBMay 14, 2019 · Summary: Fluoroquinolone antibiotics, such as Levofloxacin and Ciprofloxacin, appear to increase the risk of peripheral neuropathy by 47%.However, there is no significant increased risk of developing neuropathy associated with amoxicillin use. Source: University of Dundee Research from the University of Dundee has shown that a …
Deciphering Proprioception: How the Brain Maps Movement
WEBMar 21, 2024 · A study by EPFL researchers reveals the computational principles of proprioception, our sense of body position and movement. Using musculoskeletal simulations and neural network models, they show that the brain prioritizes limb position and velocity in processing proprioceptive input.
A Variety of Factors Beyond Age Influence Reaction Time
WEBJul 13, 2021 · Reaction time is a measure of brain health that declines with age and is affected by various factors, such as smoking, education, sex, and handedness. A study of over 200,000 participants found that reaction time can be used to predict cognitive performance and Alzheimer's disease risk.
Unlocking the Mind: The Neuroscience Behind Our Conscious Reality
WEBMay 20, 2023 · Learn how the brain generates conscious states and content, and how various theories and technologies attempt to explain and measure them. Explore the challenges and implications of the neuroscience of consciousness for mental health, artificial intelligence, and ethics.
