A single 20-minute cardio session triggers sharp wave-ripples in the hippocampus, brain activity linked to memory formation and cognitive enhancement.
People look to exercise, follow a nutritious diet, and even focus on cognitive training activities like puzzles, but these don't always provide valuable results. Despite these efforts, many aging adults still notice a lapse in memory, focus, or mental agility. Enter Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), a clinic-based approach gaining attention as a complement to these healthy habits. A growing body of research now supports its ability to improve cognitive performance, enhance neuroplasticity, and, in some cases, reverse aspects of age‑related decline.
