NOTE FROM TED: While some viewers may find this helpful as a complementary approach, please do not look to this talk as a substitute for medical advice. This talk only represents the speaker’s personal views and understanding of movement and the brain. Research around exercise and disease prevention remains an ongoing field of study TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdfIn a fast-changing world shaped by artificial intelligence, humans must now, more than ever, unlock their full potential through enhanced cognitive performance and brain health. This talk explores the science of Neurofitness: how physical activity not only boosts memory, focus, and emotional resilience, but also physically reshapes the brain by increasing neuroplasticity, changes the anatomy of the brain, strengthening areas like the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. JP Barea shares practical, science-based routines and insights on the minimum amount of exercise needed to improve brain function and thrive cognitively. JP Barea is an experienced physical educator, scholar (holding two specialized post-graduate degrees in School Management and Inclusive Education for Students with Physical Disabilities), Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and coach passionate about the intersection of movement and cognitive development. With a background in sports science and extensive coaching experience, he has also served as an Athletic Director, overseeing and managing multiple sports programs throughout his career. He explores how physical activity enhances brain function, memory, and mental resilience.
