«I was able to gain a much deeper understanding of the relationships between
human flexible behavior and the underlying involvement of human neurological processes,» says Dutra, who earned a fellowship from the Iowa Center for Research by Undergraduates to be involved in the study.
But researchers writing in the journal Neuroscience found that
human behavior that is exceptionally
flexible, responsive and capable of navigating complexity requires something beyond a strong and active prefrontal cortex: strong and agile runners must link that seat to brain regions involved in perception, memory, language and mobility.
