Machine-translated · View original
A lab that investigates how exercise and nutrition affect the brain.
AboutAbout the lab
How do exercise and food affect the brain?
The Tsukamoto Lab specializes in exercise physiology and nutritional physiology.
The lab investigates how exercise and nutrition affect blood flow, metabolism, and cognitive function in the brain.
It measures how the body and brain respond in human participants when the intensity or type of exercise, or what they consume, is changed.
The lab explores what kinds of exercise and diet help keep the brain functioning well.
Key terms
- Cerebral circulation
- The amount of blood flowing to the brain and the mechanisms that regulate it
- Cerebral metabolism
- The exchange of energy-yielding substances that takes place when the brain is active
- Cognitive function
- Mental functions such as directing attention, switching thoughts, and making judgments
