How Exercise Helps Prevent and Treat Parkinson’s Disease Jake Panasevich Parkinsons disease had caused 61-year-old John Cullen to slouch and drag his foot while walking.

It took about six months for his gait to improve, he says. "I was able to walk backwards. I felt like I could go up an...

To something like confidence. we did dna tests. neither of us have particularly confidence genes. we also found in terms of gender difference, genetics isnt as important as a few things like testosterone which really pushes risk taking and risk taking we found is critical for confidence. what we also found which is the great news is that confidence is probably at least half controlled by the environment but its something we can build ourselves and in terms of brain plasticity and rewiring our br...

Turns out they are. new research suggest a big chunk of our confidence, some say up to 50%, comes straight from our dna. i was busy researching the origins of confidence and i set out to learn my genetic blueprint. one saliva test and the help of a doctor, i learned in terms of the key genes which contribute to confidence, i come up short. im more prone to anxiety than resilience and more of a worrier than a warrior. thats one part after larger confidence equation. hormones like testosterone giv...

Researchers say exercise impacts brain plasticity, which is linked to problems with cognition. any time now, we could learn from that new cap on the bp oil well is going to work and success could come in one of two ways. the cap could completely cover the well, allowing bp to suck up all of the oil into containment ships on the surface. that would also for the first time give us a more accurate assessment of the true rate the oil is flowing out. determining the amount of oil is important becau...
