Neurons in Motion

Did you know that your brain can change throughout your entire life? And that physical exercise is one of the most powerful tools for shaping it? In this fascinating book, neuroscientist José Luis Trejo guides us through the latest discoveries on how movement transforms not only the body, but also the mind.

With a clear, engaging, and deeply human style, Trejo explains how exercise improves memory, reduces stress, helps prevent neurodegenerative diseases, and even influences our genes—and those of our children. From the evolution of our ancestors to the microbiota, from the philosophy of effort to the science of well-being, each chapter invites us to understand why movement is much more than a medical recommendation: it is a cognitive necessity.
