NO PAIN, NO BRAIN.

Weve known anecdotally for years that working out can improve the health of the ol gray
matter, but now researchers at the University of Illinois have come up with physical proof to
show that exercise does indeed make your brain stronger. After analyzing brain scans of 55
people over the age of 55, researchers found that men who regularly worked out lost
significantly less brain tissue as they aged than men who exercised rarely or not at all. This is
further proof that working out can help keep your memory strong and prevent the loss of
cognitive function as you get older, says Arthur Kramer, Ph.D., the study author.

BRAZILIAN FAUNA: OVERVIEW

There is general consensus that Brazil has the highest number of both terrestrial vertebrates
and invertebrates of any country in the world. This high diversity of fauna can be explained
by the sheer size of Brazil and also the great variation in ecosystems.

The numbers published about Brazils fauna diversity can vary from source to source, as
taxonomists sometimes disagree about species classifications and information can be
incomplete or out of date. Also new species continue to be discovered and, sadly, some
species go extinct in the wild. Brazil has the highest primate diversity of any country in the
world with 77 species and fresh water fish (over 3000 species); it claims the second-highest
number of amphibian species, the third highest number of bird species and is ranked fifth in
reptile species. Many of the species that are at risk live in threatened habitats such as the
Atlantic Forest.
