긍정적인 영향을 미치는
positive benefit for your brain
어떻게 하시겠습니까?
could actually last a long time
from different conditions
보호받을 수 있다면요?
Alzheimer's disease or dementia.
치매와 같은 병이요.
of physical activity.
이야기하고자 합니다.
and protective benefits for your brain.
보호 효과를 경험할 수 있습니다.
for the rest of your life.
is tell you a story
understanding of neuroscience,
깊은 이해에 관한 겁니다.
the science underlying
is the most transformative thing
I know that our brains,
known to humankind.
기관이라는 사실을 압니다.
to talk about the brain,
that we are going to talk about today.
여기에 있습니다.
right behind your forehead,
전전두엽 피질입니다.
focus, attention and your personality.
결정하는 중요한 역할을 합니다.
in the temporal lobe, shown right here.
the right and the left,
is a key structure
형성하고 저장하는데
memories for facts and events.
is called the hippocampus.
with the hippocampus.
that lasts just a moment,
that has changed your brain,
저장될 수 있었을까요?
the activity of individual brain cells
새로운 기억을 형성하는 동안
활동을 기록하고자 했습니다.
those brief bursts of electrical activity,
해석하는데 집중했습니다.
communicate with each other,
to form a new memory, or did not.
결정짓는지를 연구했습니다.
I did something very unusual in science.
이례적인 선택을 했습니다.
my research program.
결정했습니다.
that was so amazing,
잠재력이 있는 주제였기에,
the brain-changing effects of exercise.
운동의 효과를 발견하였습니다.
inadvertent way.
of all the memory work that I was doing --
연구가 한창이던 시기였죠.
for all of this memory work.
알리기 시작할 때였습니다.
It was, scientifically.
좋은 시기가 분명했습니다.
out of my lab door,
listening to those brain cells
many years to realize it,
수 년이 걸렸습니다.
by myself, because I had no social life.
친구가 없으니까요.
I was the weakest person on that trip."
내가 체력이 가장 약했어."
임무를 부여했습니다.
like the weakest person
classes at the gym.
dance, yoga, step class,
스텝 에어로빅스.
sweat-inducing workout that I tried,
and this great energy boost.
에너지가 상승했습니다.
going back to the gym.
I even lost that 25 pounds.
25파운드(약 10kg)도 감량했습니다.
into this regular exercise program
운동을 시작하면서
made me sit up and take notice.
순간이 있었습니다.
writing a research grant,
기획안을 작성 중이었죠.
through my mind before.
정말 잘 써지는데."
always laugh when I say that,
모든 과학자가 웃습니다.
잘 써지는 법이 없어요.
pulling your hair out,
million-dollar-winning idea.
아이디어를 구상합니다.
the grant-writing was going well,
to focus and maintain my attention
what I was studying in my own lab --
저의 장기기억도
that I had included and added to my life
운동이라는 영역이
without even knowing it.
스스로 실험을 한 것이었죠.
what I could find about what we knew
of exercise on the brain.
and a growing literature
변화를 뒷받침해주는
that I noticed in myself.
better memory, better attention.
주의력이 향상되었습니다.
how powerful exercise was.
led me to the big decision
연구 주제를 완전히 전환하는
of really focusing on this question,
몇 년이 흐른 현재
the most transformative thing
immediate effects on your brain.
영향을 미칩니다.
levels of neurotransmitters
and noradrenaline.
노르아드레날린 등이요.
right after that workout,
기분을 상승시킵니다.
to shift and focus attention,
확인하였습니다.
will last for at least two hours.
최소 2시간 동안 지속되었죠.
will improve your reaction times
at catching that cup of Starbucks
스타벅스 커피잔을
they help you right after.
즉각 효과는 일시적입니다.
increase your cardiorespiratory function,
강화 효과를 경험해보십시오.
changes the brain's anatomy,
brain area, the hippocampus.
해마에서 시작해봅시다.
produces brand new brain cells,
that actually increase its volume,
your long-term memory, OK?
in neuroscience studies,
dependent or your prefrontal cortex.
주의력 향상이 있습니다.
better focus and attention,
increases as well.
immediate effects of mood with exercise
기분 전환 효과가
in those good mood neurotransmitters.
분비가 지속해서 증가하게 되죠.
that exercise will do
about the brain like a muscle.
and prefrontal cortex gets.
더 커지고 강해집니다.
and the hippocampus
susceptible to neurodegenerative diseases
노화로 인한 인지력 감퇴에
over your lifetime,
dementia or Alzheimer's disease,
완치할 수는 없습니다.
is you're going to create
우리는 가장 강력하고
and prefrontal cortex
생성할 수 있습니다.
to actually have an effect.
발병하기까지 오랜 시간이 걸리죠.
생각할 수 있겠네요.
where everybody says,
want to know one thing.
the minimum amount of exercise
the answer to that question.
a triathlete to get these effects.
될 필요는 없습니다.
three to four times a week exercise
you don't have to go to the gym
않아도 된다는 것이죠.
in your power walk.
as the aerobics class
듣는 것만큼 좋습니다.
workings of the brain,
can improve our brain function,
알고자 했습니다.
that I just gave you --
경험법칙을 넘어서는데 있죠.
the optimum exercise prescription
제시하는데 있습니다.
at your fitness level,
and protect your brain the best
남은 생애 동안
방법을 찾고자 합니다.
and it's another to do it.
실천은 다른 얘기죠.
as a certified exercise instructor,
제가 힘을 발휘해볼게요.
just one minute of exercise.
just do what I do, say what I say,
your neighbor, OK?
it's right, left, right, left.
오른쪽, 왼쪽, 오른쪽, 왼쪽
I am Wonder Woman-strong.
나는 원더우먼처럼 강하다.
올려치기, 오른쪽, 왼쪽.
right and left, right and left.
오른손 왼손, 오른손 왼손.
exercise in your life
a happier, more protective life today,
오늘의 삶을 선사할 뿐만 아니라
from incurable diseases.
보호해줄 것입니다.
the trajectory of your life

Why you should listen
Dr. Wendy A. Suzuki is a Professor of Neural Science and Psychology in the Center for Neural Science at New York University, an author, storyteller and fitness instructor. She received her undergraduate degree in physiology and human anatomy at the University of California, Berkeley in 1987 studying with Prof. Marion C. Diamond, a leader in the field of brain plasticity. She went on to earn her PhDin Neuroscience from U.C. San Diego in 1993 and completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the National Institutes of Health before accepting her faculty position at New York University in 1998.
Suzuki's major research interest continues to be brain plasticity. She is best known for her extensive work studying areas in the brain critical for our ability to form and retain new long-term memories. More recently, her work has focused on understanding how aerobic exercise can be used to improve learning, memory and higher cognitive abilities in humans. She is passionate about teaching, about exercise (intenSati) and about supporting and mentoring up and coming scientists.
