Ten minutes: that’s
all you need to boost your retention of memories. We know that exercise
is good for our brains in many ways, but new research by the University of California, Irvine, and
Japan’s University of Tsukuba reveals just how little exercise is needed to
stimulate your grey matter.

The researchers used MRI scanning techniques to measure the
activity of the brain after just 10 minutes of light exercise and found
participants had better connections between the denate gyrus – an area of the
hippocampus associated with laying down memories – and part of the cortex
involved with processing memories. They also showed improved performance in a
memory recall test. So is time for a walk!
