In part two of the exercise series, Hayley (Host) and Olivia (Co-Host) discuss the cognitive benefits of exercise with Joyla Furlano and Dr. Lindsay Nagamatsu. They touch on sex differences in response to exercise, exercise in aging and disease and exercise as medicine. Joyla is a fourth-year PhD candidate in Neuroscience at the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry. She currently works in the Exercise, Mobility and Brain Health Laboratory at Western under the supervision of Dr. Lindsay Nagamatsu. Her doctoral research uses fMRI to examine the effects of resistance exercise on cognitive and brain health in prediabetic and overweight older adults. Dr. Lindsay Nagamatsu is an Assistant Professor in the School of Kinesiology at Western. Her research focuses on examining the effects of exercise on cognition and brain health in at-risk populations, using neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI and EEG to examine underlying functional changes.
