AI Summary

Researchers at Penn State found that contracting core muscles—whether by movement, exercise, or coughing—raises pressure in blood vessels that connect to the brain via the spinal column. This pressure surge triggers ultrafast constrictions of major cerebral veins. The constrictions temporarily boost blood flow to the brain. The study suggests core engagement could be a simple way to influence cerebral circulation.
