A team of neurologists, stem cell specialists and molecular biologists affiliated with several institutions in the U.S. and led by a group at Stanford University School of Medicine has found evidence that the root cause of Alzheimer's disease may be fat buildup in brain cells. The study is published in the journal Nature.

  1. Synaptic Sprint: High-intensity interval training focusing on quick bursts of movement to stimulate neural connections.

  2. Dendritic Dance: A choreographed dance routine designed to enhance coordination and promote neuroplasticity.

  3. Axonal Agility: A series of agility drills and plyometric exercises to improve nerve impulse transmission and reflexes.

  4. Cerebral Circuit: A circuit training workout targeting different areas of the body to stimulate overall brain function.

  5. Neuronal Nirvana: Mindfulness meditation and yoga sequences aimed at reducing stress and promoting mental clarity.

  6. Myelin Marathon: Endurance-based exercises such as running or cycling to support the growth and maintenance of myelin sheaths around nerve fibers.

  7. Neurogenesis Nudge: A combination of cardiovascular exercise and strength training to encourage the production of new brain cells.

  8. Glial Glide: Low-impact aerobic activities like swimming or rowing to support brain health by promoting blood flow and oxygenation.

  9. Cortical Calisthenics: Bodyweight exercises focusing on balance, coordination, and stability to challenge cognitive function and motor skills.
