They have been looking at animlas and how the more they move and exercise the smarter they get. For example they took rats and put some in 4 different cages that all had different things in them. The first and second cages had great food, colorful beds and mirrors and bunches of toys, but no running wheel. The 3rd cage had less fun things but still somewhat good food and a running wheel. The fourth cage didnt have anything but crappy food and a wheel in it. Though before they put the mice in the cages they injected them with a substance that could tell how their brain increased, and it turned out that the mice that had the exciting toys and yummy food didnt get any smarter but the ones that had the wheel did because they were running and exercising more. Thereofre if you run or go for a swim you can be making your brain smarter. Impact:The impact that this could have on people is huge because if people know that just walking everyday and as much as they can could make their brain smarter it could help everyone a lot.
