The brain is more mechanically connected to the body than previously appreciated, scientists report in Nature Neuroscience. Through a study using mice and simulations, the team found a potential ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising link between simple body movement and brain health: every time you tighten your abdominal muscles—even slightly—your brain may gently sway inside your skull.

We already know that moving your body is important for brain health, but a new study reveals a possible reason why: It could be triggering a kind of hydraulic pump that flushes out fluid in the brain.

Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a human life, as our brains rewire to support different ways of thinking while ...

Movement-paired taVNS noninvasively targets and boosts specific brain areas responsible for movement and arousal.

Exercise is often described as one of the best things we can do for the brain. It can sharpen memory, support mood, and lower the risk of cognitive decline later in life.

Using microCT scanning, which allows for high-resolution imaging of an organism's internal structures, and other imaging techniques, researchers found that a network of veins serve as a mechanical ...
