Week 3

Research article 2 :

Neurobiological effects of physical exercise

Source : 
Neurobiological effects of physical exercise
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurobiological_effects_of_physical_exercise


My topic : 
Exercising has an influence on human (mind, brain)

What I hope to learn from this source?

What I hope to learn is the more specific effects of exercise especially on brain.

Notes :

1. Exercise enhances neurogenesis, blood flow, and neuronal resistance to injury, specifically in the hippocampus.
2. The hippocampus is crucial for learning and memory storage.
3. Animal research has shown that exercise increases neuronal growth, cognitive function, and positively impacts neural systems associated with learning and memory.
4. Physical activity benefits cognition as a whole.
5. Specifically, executive control processes (such as working memory, multitasking or planning) are more positively affected in comparison to other regions of the brain.
6. The type of exercise is also related to the neurological improvements seen.



Final Thoughts :

I found more specific effects of exercise on brain than before
Next time, I have to find more examples or statistics to support my topic.

Research article 1: 

Physical Exercise Beefs Up the Brain

 Source :

My topic : 
Exercising has an influence on human (mind, brain)

What I hope to learn from this source?

I want to get the information about  the effects that exercise has on human mind.

Notes :

1. Exercise increases birth of new brain nerve cells (Experiment about mice)
2. Exercise impacts brain's ability to remember things.
3. increasing alertness, attentiveness, and leading to faster learning.


Final Thoughts :

I found only three benefits of exercise in this article. I have to find more.

Week 1

Brainstorming

What I like?

1. Exercise
2. Reading books
3. Comic books
4. Movies
5. environments
6. children.
7. Song.


How can I connact these with the four topics?
 Human mind = brain
Human mind Exercise                    how exercise affects the brain?
Human mind Readin books
Human mind Comic books
Human mind Movies                      Human mind (children)      Song and Human mind?
Environment Movies?
Internet webtoon vs comicbooks     How the appearance of webtoon affects the comic book industry.
Environment biology
Biology.. similar with ecology?

Week 2

research proposal

1. Topic :

1. How exercise affects human mind

(Human Mind)

 2. Environment and evolution of human being.
(Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution)
3. How movies affect human mind
4. How songs affect human mind
5. Can teachers change students (children)?
6. The effect of exercising to human mind. (human mind = brain)


I think number 6 is the best topic because I like exercise.
Thus, It would be interesting to find and research the information of this topic. I already learned that exercising is good for health. However, I do not know about the specific effects. Therefore I choose this topic.

2. Guiding Questions 

1. What is the specific effect of doing exercise? (main question)

2. Is there any examples of athletes who have had good effect of exercising?

3. What is the most effective exercise to human mind?


3. Current Thoughts

Some researchers said that after exercising, their mind cleared. Therefore, before studying, doing exercise is good.

Exercising has enormous effects.

4. Opposition

Other researchers said that doing exercise is just as exhaustion of physical strength.
