(Natural News) A study published in the journal Scientific Reports found that higher levels of physical fitness are linked to better cognitive performance and improved white matter integrity. The researchers from the University of Munster in Germany, who tested mostly 30-year-olds, said that these findings further strengthen the role of physical fitness in positive brain health outcomes. “This leads us to believe […]

(Natural News) The scientific community has long believed that the brain is organized by regions controlling specific organs and body parts. However, a recent study could shake this fundamental knowledge, stating that the brain might actually be organized by function and not merely by specific regions.  As part of the study, a research team from the University […]

(Natural News) The brain behaves differently outdoors compared to when it’s indoors, according to researchers from the University of Alberta. The study, published in the journal Brain Research, investigated what happens to the brain when it performs tasks in “increasingly complex environments” – such as the outdoors – using mobile electroencephalography (EEG). “Something about being outdoors changes brain activity,” lead author Joanna […]

(Natural News) The lighting condition in your room affects your brain. Being exposed to bright light boosts memory and learning, according to a new study published in the journal Hippocampus. A group of scientists from Michigan State University carried out a study on the link between lighting and brain structure. In conducting the study, the […]

(Natural News) By natural design, gender is binary, indicated by XX and XY chromosomes and reinforced by the brain’s own wiring. Scientists at the NYU School of Medicine confirm that there are two types of brains, male and female, and they are wired distinctively different in regards to aggression and mating. By nature, male and female […]

(Natural News) A new study published in Brain and Cognition revealed that following musical cues to learn a physical task may improve connectivity between important brain regions. To carry out the study, a team of researchers from the University of Edinburgh’s Institute for Music in Human and Social Development, Clinical Research Imaging Centre, and Centre for Clinical Brain […]
