| Abstract: | (CIT): Sure, exercise is good for toning your muscles and keeping off those extra pounds. But good for your brain, too? Judy Cameron will talk about how exercise increases blood flow to the brain, increases alertness and attentiveness, and may be able to protect the brain against the development of age-related illnesses such as Parkinson's Disease. She also will discuss natural variation in the level of physical activity that individuals undertake, how these differences develop, and how they affect gene expression and neural function. |
