The right type of exercise can triple the number of neurons in the brain’s memory zone.
Sustained aerobic exercise (running) grows new brain cell, but lifting weights does not, a new study concludes.
The research on rats compared three different groups:
  • Sustained aerobic exercise
  • High-intensity interval training
  • Lifting weights
The study was published in the Journal of Physiology: London (Nokia et al., 2016).
