Every day you can find me in the gym. I work out every part of my body; little did I know, lifting weights is also working out my brain.The motor cortex initiates voluntary muscle contractions and coordinates movement patterns. The cerebellum ensures balance and fine-tunes muscle control. The prefrontal cortex handles decision-making, setting workout goals, and monitoring progress. The limbic system releases endorphins, contributing to motivation and pain tolerance. Lastly, the hypothalamus regulates heart rate, body temperature, and energy expenditure. These brain regions make weightlifting possible by orchestrating muscle coordination, focus, motivation, and physiological adjustments.

If I were a psychologist or neuroscientist, I would love to learn about the brains of people with schizophrenia or mental disorders. I would talk to them and ask questions, as well as take some brain images using an MRI or a Diffusion Tensor Image. A DTI image maps white matter pathways by tracking water diffusion in brain tissue.
