Description
At midcareer, neuroscientist Wendy Suzuki had numerous scientific awards and accomplishments. She was studying what makes a brain healthy. But she didn't have much of a life outside of the lab, and she wasn't happy. She decided to make some changes, starting with a stop at the gym.

How Does Moving Your Body Make Your Brain Healthy?

Dr. Suzuki's personal experience with the benefits of exercise led her to shift the direction of her research. Soon she was studying how moving your body affects your mood, your brain and your health.

Looking at Neuroplasticity:

Exercise is not the only key to neuroplasticity, although it is very important. Mastering specialized skills can also lead to changes and help you keep your brain healthy.
