We just recently had a baby, and boy, that takes care right there of the physical exercise need. Between carrying the baby upstairs and downstairs, running to get the baby, getting out of the bed and picking the baby up and putting the baby down a couple of times a night no you need not worry about getting your daily exercise dose in…Now, the majority of the answers to my post on the brain virtues of physical exercise suggests that most people think that the brain benefits of physical exercise are mostly to be understood as complementary effects of a healthy life style. Is this correct? In my post today I will attempt to answer this question. First, while generally healthier people seem to have health...

Well, it is beyond our humble brains to capture and articulate what may be going on...but we now see that lack of access to quality information is certainly not the main problem. Decision-making processes, and structural incentives, would probably merit more attention.... I mention this because we are really impressed by the just-published 24-page special issue on Preventing Memory Loss by Congressional Quarterly Researcher, one of the main publications in Capitol Hill. The publication is not free, but worth the price for anyone active professionally in the healthcare sector, or interested in learning about latest research and policy trends, from academics to students. You can buy ...

Check out the details for Brain Attack Awareness Week – which starts on August 13th and ends on the 19th. When we think brain health – we picture good brain food and daily exercise. Not bad for a start … but there’s far more to preventing attacks when it comes to your brain. Here are five questions that can help your brain to still be healthy when the next annual health campaign for brains rolls around. 1. Do you stop stressors that literally shrinks your brain?2. Do you regularly increase your brain’s productivity? 3. Could you compete with Einstein for curiosity? 4. Bank any serotonin today?5. Do you laugh and make others laugh at work? &nb...
