Science News: Fitness is good for the brain
From the latest article in Science News Online: New research suggests that physical exercise encourages healthy brains to function at their optimum levels. Fitness prompts nerve cells to multiply, strengthens their connections, and protects them from harm. Benefits seem to extend to brains a... Read more ...

Improvement and generalization of arm motor...
Neuroscience . 2005 Dec 7; Authors: Gentili R, Papaxanthis C, Pozzo T This study compares the improvement and generalization of arm motor performance after physical or mental training in a motor task requiring a speed-accuracy tradeoff. During the pre- and post-training sessions, 40 subjec... Read more ...

Influence of imagined posture and imagery...
Behav Brain Res . 2005 Nov 25 Authors: Fourkas AD, Ionta S, Aglioti SM Single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was used to test the assumption that kinesthetic imagery of action is more 'motor' than visual imagery of action. We assessed corticospinal excitability during moto... Read more ...

Theta brainwave triggered training boosts old...
It has long been known that hippocampus is involved in the learning process. A study published on the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (USA) has shown that theta brainwave triggered training can enhance learning rate in old rabbits, contrasting the deficit determined by the agi...

Imagery-induced Cortical Excitability Changes...
Results of this focal transcranial magnetic stimulation study recently published on Cerebral Cortex by a team of Italian neuroscientists suggest that motor imagery could induce a pronounced motor output enhancement in the hemisphere affected by stroke. These findings strongly support the use of ... Read more ...
