A new study explores exercise mimetics as novel therapeutics for depression by triggering muscle-to-brain signals that support mood regulation and resilience.

Researchers have found that a specific body profile—higher muscle mass combined with a lower visceral fat to muscle ratio—tracks with a younger brain age, according to a study being presented next ...
