Exercise for a Healthy Brain - Lyl Tomlinson

Healthy bodies house happy brains is the message from Lyl Tomlinson, a PhD neuroscience student who recently won FameLab. Tomlinson said that frequent aerobic exercise, particularly running, encourages healthy stem-cells in one of the brain's memory regions. Tomlinson also says that running helps reduce stress, which will cause a slower growth of stem cells. Fame Lab is a competition co-hosted by NASA and National Geographic, looking for the next generation of science communicators.
