Lates: If I get fitter, will my brain work better?

This event is part of the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition 2024.

Movement matters! What does science tell us about how exercise impacts the brain? Join us on a journey to understand how exercise can support brain health throughout the lifespan of a human being. Associate Professor Flaminia Ronca and her team from UCL, based at the Institute of Sport Exercise and Health, have been researching the effects of physical activity on cognitive function and brain activity in both children and adults.  

This talk will touch on how we can best use physical activity to optimise our mental wellbeing and brain health throughout life, and how individual differences can affect these responses.
