36 statements

  1. on High-intensity interval trainingPositiveJul 20, 2026· Huberman Lab Essentials

    Six months of HIIT improved hippocampal function more than Zone 2 and benefits persisted five years.

    “that high intensity interval training group, they improved their fitness just as well as the Zone 2 group, interestingly, but they had much better improvements in hippocampal function and maintenance of hippocampal structure on an MRI scan. And they maintained that benefit for five years after the six month intervention.”

  2. on NeuroplasticityPositiveJul 20, 2026· Huberman Lab Essentials

    Learning, interaction, and remembering engage neuroplasticity.

    “every time you learn something, interact with something, remember something. The principles of neuroplasticity are engaged, right?”

  3. on Adult brain neuroplasticityPositiveJul 20, 2026· Huberman Lab Essentials

    Adult brains can continuously change neural connections despite relatively fixed cell numbers.

    “just because we have a fixed number, relatively fixed number of cells, doesn't mean that we can't change the connections between those cells. And that's happening all the time.”
