Recent research indicates that people who are more physically active have augmented cognitive functions, even if they develop dementia-related conditions. In the study, researchers examined postmortem brain tissue from more than 450 patients. Those findings were compared with data gathered while the subjects were alive. Researchers found that physical activity, while not a method of preventing these diseases, was an effective way to help decrease their severity. Researchers call this phenomenon a “cognitive reserve” that develops from increased physical activity. They have yet to discover the specific biological processes that cause it, however. Because of this, they say more research into the topic is needed. Dr. Walker can be reached at [email protected]
