However, fitter adults who undertake physical activity have larger medial and hippocampal temporal lobes (der Borght, Havekes, Bos, Eggen, & Zee, 2007). According to Erickson et ...

It is where I learned the most valuable life lessons I know, and which still benefit me today. This rather ordinary basement gym was responsible for changing my life, and for shaping my character. Importantly, ...
