Hippocampus Underlies the Link Between Slowed Walking and Mental Decline
Summary: A new study reports a connection between slowed walking speed and cognitive decline appears to arise in the right hippocampus. Researchers recommend older people may benefit if their doctors measure their walking speed and check for changes over time, which could be an early indicator of impending cognitive decline. Source: University of Pittsburgh. TheContinue reading “Hippocampus Underlies the Link Between Slowed Walking and Mental Decline”
How Walking Benefits the Brain
How Walking Benefits the Brain Summary: Researchers report on the neurological benefits of talking a walk. Source: Experimental Biology 2017. Researchers show that foot’s impact helps control, increase the amount of blood sent to the brain. You probably know that walking does your body good, but it’s not just your heart and muscles that benefit.Continue reading “How Walking Benefits the Brain”

Mental state and gait – walking
Gait reflects all levels of nervous system function. In psychiatry, gait disturbances reflecting cortical and subcortical dysfunction are often seen. Observing spontaneous gait, sometimes augmented by a few brief tests, can be highly informative. The authors briefly review the neuroanatomy of gait, review gait abnormalities seen in psychiatric and neurologic disorders, and describe the assessmentContinue reading “Mental state and gait – walking”
Running, Cathepsin B from muscles, memory and cancer
Recent study suggests that running is good for the memory because scientist measured the presence of Cathepsin B. Cathepsin B is produced in muscle tissue during metabolism. It is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and is associated with neurogenesis, specifically in the mouse dentate gyrus. And more… During chronic kidney disease (CKD) there isContinue reading “Running, Cathepsin B from muscles, memory and cancer”

Walking and running increase the brain’s hippocampal volume preventing Alzheimer’s and pulmonary diseases
(dailyRx News) Aerobic exercise can promote healthy weight loss and bone health. New research shows that it could also help maintain brain volume and fight cognitive decline. Women between 70 and 80 years old participated in a study that measured the effects of exercise on the volume of the hippocampus, the area of the brainContinue reading “Walking and running increase the brain’s hippocampal volume preventing Alzheimer’s and pulmonary diseases”
