Exercise

  • Exercise has long been known to impact neurogenesis, but how was another question.

    New study reveals how exercise can improve learning and memory

    Published on: 18 December 2020
    New research has shown how physical exercise can revitalize your brain.
  • Neural precursor cells form into neurospheres, which then differentiate into astrocytes and new neurons.

    Blood cells the missing link in post-exercise boost

    Published on: 22 March 2019
    Researchers have discovered a new way in which exercise boosts our brain - following exercise, platelets in our blood prompt neural stem cells to form new neurons, which in turn boosts brain function.
  • Can you grow new brain cells?

    Can you grow new brain cells?

    Discoveries from QBI researchers have turned on its head conventional wisdom about the brain's ability to regenerate.
