Yoga and behavioral memory interventions for the aging brain
Yoga and behavioral memory interventions to prevent age-related cognitive decline A study examined changes in brain metabolites and structure among individuals undergoing memory training and yogic meditation. We demonstrated that memory training over 3 months is associated with decreased choline levels in bilateral hippocampus and increased gray-matter volume in dACC, suggesting that behavioral interventions likeContinue reading “Yoga and behavioral memory interventions for the aging brain”
Weaker Gut Instinct Makes Teens Open to Risky Behavior
Brain disconnect leaves teen brain less able to judge trustworthiness. Making a snap decision usually means following your initial reaction — going with your gut. That intuitive feeling sprouts from the limbic system, the evolutionarily older and simpler part of the brain that affects emotion, behavior and motivation. But during adolescence, the limbic system connectsContinue reading “Weaker Gut Instinct Makes Teens Open to Risky Behavior”

What motivates children to eat healthy
By Ana Swanson In a study published in the journal Health Economics in January, researchers carried out a field experiment to try to motivate 8,000 children in different schools to eat healthier. They found that giving the students a small incentive for eating healthy — in this case, a 25 cent token the kids could spendContinue reading “What motivates children to eat healthy”
Why Your Workplace Might Be Killing You by Shana Lynch
