the more physical activity your body goes through the stronger mentally and physically you are. One study is done to determine the extent to which cardio fitness is associated with memory problems and the effects it has on the hippocampus (Szabo‚ 2007).

researcher will test how mildly jogging 804.672 meters on a neighborhood sidewalk will affect the memory ability of a 12 year old male. This research will give the researcher background information on how jogging will affect a 12 year-old’s memory and hippocampus volume‚ as well as the brain itself. The results will help to validate that jogging will increasingly affect a 12 year-old’s memory ability from using a number grid test as the testing tool. The human memory is a process that involves a constant

Students tend to overload themselves by overnight study to memorize all the study material. However‚ most of them do not realize that we will have a better result by an adequate sleep than having a three hour sleep before an exam to memorize all the material. This restless lifestyle will significantly reduce health level and in fact reduces our memory consolidation and opportunity to use our unconscious mind to improve the skill that we learn. This theory was first introduced by Muller and Pilzecker

Repeated exposure to stressful situations during childhood can cause the developing limbic system to release stress-mediated hormones and neurotransmitters effecting development of stress sensitive areas of the brain including the hippocampus‚ amygdala‚ neocortex‚ cerebellum‚ and white matter tracts. Stress response systems can also be affected‚ possibly altering the way the body response to stressful situations through processes such as neurogenesis‚ a process of synaptic overproduction
