The results of the new study showed why regular exercise improves intellectual abilities, British scientists at the University of Cambridge. The reason is the additional formation of brain cells in physically active people, writes the Air Force.

Researchers conducted an experiment in mice. It turned out that rodents who had previously performed physical exercises coped better with tests for memory testing, according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. Net Scientists have determined that the reason for this difference was that after regular physical exertion, animals had more new cells in the brain department responsible for memory. A report on the work done was published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The purpose of the scientific work was to establish how physical exercises contribute to improving memory and cognitive abilities. The results of the previous study showed that physical exercises improve mental performance in animals and humans. According to the new work, it can be concluded that this is due to the formation of additional new brain cells, scientists stressed..
