Light Exercise Boosts Memory via Dopamine and Noradrenaline
Summary: New research reveals that even light exercise, like jogging or yoga, activates key neurotransmitter systems that enhance memory by stimulating the hippocampus. In a rat model mimicking human exercise, scientists found that dopamine and noradrenaline levels increased in the hippocampus during low-intensity activity. These neurotransmitters were traced back to specific brainstem regions, the ventral…
