A new study from the University Hospital Bonn in Germany sheds some light: it found that high-activity exercise engages affective/emotion processing networks, while low-intensity […]

While many scientists are skeptical it’s an immediate problem, one estimates that “our complex decision-making functions could be reduced by as much as half by the end of the […]
