Exercise neuroscientist Wendy Suzuki explains how your brain can age gracefully and optimally — and it starts with just a 10-minute walk.
Exercise can have surprisingly transformative impacts on the brain, according to neuroscientist Wendy Suzuki. It has the power not only to boost mood and focus due to an increase in […]
Synchronized activity between the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and thalamus plays a role in memory consolidation.
New research shows that the transition from general to specific memories involves the maturation of inhibitory neurons in the hippocampus.

In a study involving mice, scientists used two different techniques — one optogenetic and one pharmacologic — to recover "lost" memories.
Your breathing rhythm influences a wide range of behaviors, cognition, and emotion.
Compared to people who took a placebo, the brains of those who took caffeine pills had a temporarily smaller gray matter volume.
