Those who exercise on this delayed basis had more consistent activity in their hippocampus, an area of the brain involved in memory, suggesting that the consistency of the memories was stronger.
Researchers still don’t know exactly how exercise works its memory magic, but they suspect the molecules sparked by aerobic exercise energize dopamine and a protein known to solidify memories.
Of course, if you think about the information after you’ve learned it whether you are resting or exercising, you’re able to remember it more competently.
We know the mind continues to process information even if you’re not thinking about it, but reviewing makes it more easily retrieved without effort.
Study and exercise to make better grades!
