that you can do right now
kar lahko storite prav zdaj,
positive benefit for your brain
pozitiven učinek na vaše možgane,
in pozornostjo?
could actually last a long time
ta stvar trajala dolgo časa
from different conditions
pred različnimi boleznimi,
Alzheimer's disease or dementia.
alzheimerjevo boleznijo ali demenco?
of physical activity.
fizične aktivnosti.
and protective benefits for your brain.
in varovalno korist za vaše možgane,
for the rest of your life.
is tell you a story
understanding of neuroscience,
globoko razumevanje nevroznanosti -
the science underlying
is the most transformative thing
ki najbolj spremeni možgane
I know that our brains,
da so naši možgani,
known to humankind.
ki jo pozna človeštvo.
to talk about the brain,
that we are going to talk about today.
o katerih bomo danes govorili.
right behind your forehead,
takoj za čelom,
focus, attention and your personality.
osredotočanje, pozornost in vaša osebnost.
in the temporal lobe, shown right here.
na senčnem režnju, ki ga vidite tukaj.
the right and the left,
desnega in levega,
is a key structure
je ključna struktura,
memories for facts and events.
dolgoročnih spominov in dogodkov.
is called the hippocampus.
with the hippocampus.
that lasts just a moment,
ki traja le trenutek,
vaš prvi otrok,
that has changed your brain,
ki je spremenil vaše možgane,
the activity of individual brain cells
posamičnih možganskih celic
those brief bursts of electrical activity,
so ti bežni izbruhi električne aktivnosti,
communicate with each other,
to form a new memory, or did not.
dovolijo, da tvorimo nov spomin ali ne.
I did something very unusual in science.
nekaj zelo nenavadnega.
my research program.
zamenjati svoj raziskovalni program.
that was so amazing,
toliko življenj,
the brain-changing effects of exercise.
telesne vadbe, ki spreminjajo možgane.
inadvertent way.
of all the memory work that I was doing --
dela, s katerim sem se ukvarjala,
for all of this memory work.
področju po vsem tem spominskem delu.
It was, scientifically.
In znanstveno gledano tudi je.
out of my lab door,
izza vrat svojega laboratorija,
listening to those brain cells
tistih možganskih celic
many years to realize it,
da sem se zavedla,
by myself, because I had no social life.
ker nisem imela družabnega življenja.
I was the weakest person on that trip."
najšibkejša na tem izletu."
bom počutila kot najšibkejša
like the weakest person
classes at the gym.
na vse ure vadbe v fitnesu.
dance, yoga, step class,
sweat-inducing workout that I tried,
po vsakem preznojenem treningu
and this great energy boost.
ogromno energije.
going back to the gym.
hodila v telovadnico.
I even lost that 25 pounds.
celo izgubila sem tistih 12 kg.
into this regular exercise program
V tem rednem programu vadbe
made me sit up and take notice.
sem se res zamislila.
writing a research grant,
in pisala donacijo raziskovalcem
through my mind before.
gre dobro od rok."
always laugh when I say that,
smejijo, ko to rečem,
pulling your hair out,
million-dollar-winning idea.
ki ti bo prinesla milijon dolarjev.
the grant-writing was going well,
donacije poteka dobro,
to focus and maintain my attention
in vzdrževala svojo pozornost
what I was studying in my own lab --
kar se preučevala v svojem laboratoriju,
that I had included and added to my life
vključila in dodala v svoje življenje,
without even knowing it.
na sebi, ne da bi sploh vedela.
what I could find about what we knew
kaj lahko najdem o tem, kar vemo
of exercise on the brain.
and a growing literature
literaturo, ki je je vedno več,
that I noticed in myself.
kar sem opazila sama.
better memory, better attention.
boljši spomin, večja pozornost.
how powerful exercise was.
kakšno moč ima gibanje.
led me to the big decision
do velike odločitve,
svoj raziskovalni fokus.
of really focusing on this question,
se res osredotočala na to vprašanje,
the most transformative thing
ki najbolj spreminja možgane
immediate effects on your brain.
levels of neurotransmitters
stopnje živčnih prenašalcev,
and noradrenaline.
right after that workout,
razpoloženje takoj po treningu,
da lahko vsak trening
to shift and focus attention,
preusmeritve pozornosti in osredotočanja
will last for at least two hours.
trajalo vsaj dve uri.
will improve your reaction times
vaš reakcijski čas,
at catching that cup of Starbucks
skodelico Starbucks kave,
they help you right after.
pomagajo vam takoj po vadbi.
increase your cardiorespiratory function,
in povečati kardiorespiratorno funkcijo,
changes the brain's anatomy,
brain area, the hippocampus.
možganov, s hipokampusom.
produces brand new brain cells,
popolnoma nove možganske celice,
that actually increase its volume,
ki povečajo njegovo prostornino,
your long-term memory, OK?
in neuroscience studies,
v študijah nevroznanosti
dependent or your prefrontal cortex.
pogojena z vašo prefrontalno skorjo.
better focus and attention,
pozornost,
increases as well.
immediate effects of mood with exercise
na vaše razpoloženje,
in those good mood neurotransmitters.
dobri razpoloženjski živčni prenašalci.
that exercise will do
ki jo prinese vadba,
about the brain like a muscle.
and prefrontal cortex gets.
hipokampus in prefrontalna skorja.
and the hippocampus
susceptible to neurodegenerative diseases
za nevrodegenerativne bolezni
over your lifetime,
dementia or Alzheimer's disease,
ali alzheimerjeve bolezni,
is you're going to create
in predfrontalno skorjo,
and prefrontal cortex
to actually have an effect.
bolezni dejansko vplivale nanju.
za svoje možgane, prav?
where everybody says,
ko vsi rečejo:
want to know one thing.
the minimum amount of exercise
količino vadbe,
the answer to that question.
a triathlete to get these effects.
postati triatlonec, da boste dosegli te učinke.
three to four times a week exercise
tri do štirikrat tedensko,
you don't have to go to the gym
da vam ni treba v fitnes
in your power walk.
krog okoli bloka.
as the aerobics class
aerobna vaja
workings of the brain,
delovanje možganov
can improve our brain function,
vadba izboljša delovanje možganov.
that I just gave you --
vam jo pravkar dala,
the optimum exercise prescription
optimalna količina vadbe
at your fitness level,
v vaši športni formi,
and protect your brain the best
ter jih najbolje zaščitila
and it's another to do it.
drugo pa se je ukvarjati z njo.
as a certified exercise instructor,
kot certificirana inštruktorica vadbe
just one minute of exercise.
just do what I do, say what I say,
naredite in recite, kar vam ukažem,
your neighbor, OK?
it's right, left, right, left.
desna, leva, desna, leva.
I am Wonder Woman-strong.
Wonder Woman.
right and left, right and left.
desni in levo, desno in levo.
exercise in your life
a happier, more protective life today,
življenje danes,
from incurable diseases.
pred neozdravljivimi boleznimi.
the trajectory of your life
krivuljo vašega življenja

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.
