Want the secret to super-charge your brain power? "Try exercise!" says neuroscientist and fitness instructor Professor Wendy Suzuki. In an electric presentation that includes live music, Suzuki describes the neuroscience behind why exercise is the new magic bullet for your brain.

First, she is interested in understanding how our brains allow us to learn and retain new long-term memories for facts and events. Second, she is interested in understanding the effects of aerobic exercise on our learning memory and cognitive abilities.
