How to motivate people to exercise Bashny.Net

Not long ago, scientists from the Center for integrative brain research at the research Institute of Children's hospital of Seattle discovered a very interesting area of the brain responsible for motivation to exercise. This discovery in the future will be able to help people is constantly keep yourself in good physical shape.

After much research, scientists have found that the dorsal medial bridle in the brain of a mammal, including humans, controls the desire to exercise physical activity. In different experiments the researchers blocked this part of the brain in laboratory mice or on the contrary, influence it with the help of lasers.

In the first case, the rodents lost all its activity and become passive so that didn't even want to drink sweetened water. One of the researchers said: "Without a functioning dorsal medial frenulum mouse were inactive. Physically they are able to run, but they have no motivation." In the second case, the mouse is actively running in the wheel and ate all the food and liquid, which are provided to them by scientists.

Due to the fact that scientists now know which area of the brain responsible for motivation to physical activity, they will be able to develop devices or drugs that not only help people to get off the couch and go to the gym, as well as to heal from depression.
