In summary, the results of this study show the potential for functional MRI to bridge the dissociation that can occur between behavior that is readily observable during a standardized clinical assessment and the actual level of residual
cognitive function after serious brain injury.14 - 16 Thus, among 23 patients who received a diagnosis of being in a vegetative state
on admission, 4 were shown to be able to willfully modulate their brain
activity through mental imagery; this fact is inconsistent with the behavioral diagnosis.

Some of the observed effects could be due to the relaxation response in both groups (e.g., improved depression), while the effects
on cognitive and mental
functioning and telomerase
activity were specific to the Kirtan Kriya.»
Other guidelines to maximize the exercise effects
on your brain include performing
activity first thing in the morning to increase
cognitive function and decrease stress for the day ahead.
This included: attendance levels (studies show a positive relationship between participation in sports and school attendance); behaviour (research concludes that even a little organised physical
activity, either inside or outside the classroom, has a positive effect
on classroom behaviour, especially amongst the most disruptive pupils);
cognitive function (several studies report a positive relationship between physical
activity and cognition, concentration, attention span and perceptual skills); mental health (studies indicate positive impacts of physical
activity on mood, well - being, anxiety and depression, as well as
on children's self - esteem and confidence); and attainment (a number of well - controlled studies conclude that academic achievement is maintained or enhanced by increased physical
activity).
