...decade ago, when neuroscientist Fred Gage of the Salk Institute made the discovery that the adult brain continues to regenerate, the brains in question belonged to mice. Some of the mice had been sedentary, others had been exercising, and the ones that logged the most miles on their wheels produced many more new neurons than did the sedentary ones...
...only did the CBV profile of the human exercisers mirror that of the mice, but the people who exercised more did better on a slew of memory tests. Other evidence backs this up. In a study of "previously sedentary" older subjects by psychologist Arthur Kramer at the University of Illinois and others at Israel's Bar-Ilan University, investigators found that those who engaged in aerobic exercise did better cognitively than those who stretched and toned but never got their heart rates pumping. What's more, subsequent imaging showed that aerobic exercise "increased brain volume in regions associated with...

...research in the laboratory of Harvard School of Public Health Professor Laurie H. Glimcher ’72. Glimcher’s groundbreaking research revealed a new pathway that regulates the cells that build bones, and indicated that a particular disruption in this pathway in mice resulted in the acceleration of bone formation. Her research could open new avenues to treat or prevent osteoporosis, a disease that affects approximately 75 million people worldwide according to a statement issued by the School of Public Health. “We are basically teaming up with Merck to identify new targets...
