Amphibious fish get smart — by working out on land. Experiments on amphibious fish have shown that those that dwell in both air and water become smarter than those that reside only in water. Fish that exercise on land experience a similar brain boost. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01593-9 14 comments 20/6/2021 science

New research that mapped brain changes after one year of aerobic workouts has uncovered a potentially critical process: Exercise boosts blood flow into two key regions of the brain associated with memory https://www.utsouthwestern.edu/newsroom/articles/year-2020/exercise-improves-memory-boosts-blood-flow-to-brain.html 27 comments 21/5/2020 science
Exercise boosts blood flow into two key regions of the brain associated with memory. Notably, the study showed this blood flow can help even older people with memory issues improve cognition, a finding that scientists say could guide future Alzheimer's disease research. https://www.j-alz.com/content/exercise-improves-memory-boosts-blood-flow-brain 27 comments 20/5/2020 science
A short bout of exercise enhances brain function, suggests a new study with mice, which found that a short burst of exercise (human equivalent of 4,000 steps) boosts the function of a gene that increases connections between neurons in the region of the brain associated with learning and memory. https://news.ohsu.edu/2019/07/02/study-reveals-a-short-bout-of-exercise-enhances-brain-function 499 comments 3/7/2019 science
30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise boosts neural processing of semantic memory (memories that relate to language, words, and names), finds a new brain imaging study (age 55-85), which suggests that a similar workout just before a test requiring semantic memory might improve your performance. https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/the-athletes-way/201904/30-minutes-aerobic-exercise-supercharges-semantic-memory 17 comments 28/4/2019 science
