Aerobic exercise boosts brain power in elderly

December 17, 2012 Highly fit older adults exhibit less age-related atrophy in the prefrontal and temporal cortices. Note: for illustration only; not related to this specific literature review. Evidence for the importance of physical activity in keeping and potentially improving cognitive function throughout life was found in an open-access literature review in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review by Hayley Guiney and Liana Machado from the University of Otago, New Zealand. http://www.kurzweilai.net/aerobic-exercise-boosts-brain-power-in-elderly?utm_source=KurzweilAI+Daily+Newsletter&utm_campaign=7fb14eae01-UA-946742-1&utm_medium=email
