Q&A: can a brain exercise be under copyright protection?
Question by Mash: can a brain exercise be under copyright protection?
The brain exercise is in the form of a game played online. Me and my competitor have almost the same game, in terms of the operation, process and feel of the game, except that our graphics and stylistic points are completely different. Anyone looking will be able to tell the differences. However, can this similarity between the exercises be grounds for copyright infringement? Our game is also more advanced in having additional “levels” of the game that the competitor doesn’t have. Thanks in advance
also, Im aware you cant protect the “idea”, and its simply the “idea” which we are copying here.

What three points should I used to discuss how exercise affects memory?
Question by Alex: What three points should I used to discuss how exercise affects memory?
I have to write a research paper for psychology summarizing how exercise affects memory. I have no Idea how to go about this paper because I have never written one like this before. Pointers/suggestions would be extremely helpful as well. Thanks!

Increased Oxygenation
One of the immediate effects of exercise is the increased flow of oxygen and rapid delivery of nutrients to the brain. Regular exercise increases the supply of tiny blood vessels that bring oxygen-rich blood to brain regions involved in cognitive functioning. Evidence suggests that aerobic exercises that allow you to breathe at a steady rate and carry on a conversation may be more beneficial to the brain than anaerobic exercises such as sprinting. In strenuous exercise, the muscles require more oxygen and glucose to continue working, which leaves less oxygen available for the brain. Continuous activities such as brisk walking are a much more effective means of increasing brain circulation, and may consequently produce more cognitive and memory benefits. This increased brain oxygenation caused by exercise is the reason why people find it easier to focus and sustain attention after going for a walk or jog. When walking, leg muscles do not utilize as much oxygen as they do with other more strenuous exercises. This increases oxygenation, glucose, and circulation in the brain leading to elevated oxygen delivery and improved brain performance. This implies that when studying for an exam, it may actually serve you well to take an exercise break rather than spend all your time seated at a desk.
Reduced Stress
Stress has many physiological effects and pathological impacts on the body. It inhibits the growth of new brain cells through the release of the hormone cortisol. Significant stress-related decreases in the volume of the hippocampus can be seen in rats, and longer depression duration is also linked to hippocampal atrophy. When exposed to a psychosocial laboratory stress, subjects with high stress-induced cortisol levels showed poorer memory performance, specifically in declarative memory. If a patient is administered cortisol, independent of the psychological stress, they show impaired performance in declarative memory as well as spatial tasks. The negative impact of stress can also be seen at the genetic level. Physiologically, stress exposure induces a decrease in BDNF mRNA levels which can lead to depression. Exercise can treat or prevent the stress-induced decrease in BDNF expression associated with acute stress exposure.To combat these detrimental effects on the body, exercise is a natural way of relieving everyday stress.
There are a number of ways in which exercise may serve to reduce stress and consequently free up one’s attentional resources and improve memory:
Exercise relaxes muscles: Being stressed causes the muscles in the body to become tense and stiff. Physical activity improves oxygen delivery to the muscles, removing tension and muscle soreness.
Exercise produces feeling of happiness: Through the production of endorphins, exercise removes stress by creating a peaceful feeling of euphoria.
Exercise reduces feelings of frustration: A good way to relieve yourself of stressful thoughts is to go for a walk or jog. Performing physical activity forces the brain to concentrate on your body and its surroundings, giving the mind a break from focusing solely on frustrations.
Exercise improves stress resiliency: People who exercise are more likely to have less of a stress reaction to adverse situations.
Brain Plasticity and Neurogenesis
Brain plasticity is essentially the ability of the brain to develop new neuronal connections. It is demonstrated often after injury or environmental changes. Exercise increases neurotrophic factors such as BDNF and IGF-1 which are necessary for survival of neurons, neuronal differentiation, and synaptic plasticity. Evidence supports that voluntary exercise leads to increased axon regeneration and neurite outgrowth compared to sedentary animals. The growth directly correlated with the amount of exercise the animal participated in, specifically the total distance the animal had run. The animals in the exercise condition showed an increased level of axonal regrowth after neural injury, due to higher neurotrophin levels such as BDNF. This shows how behaviours such as voluntary exercise can impact neurotrophin levels and neurogenesis, inducing activity-dependent plasticity. Exercise increases the expression of genes that are required for this rapid neural growth in the brain. Neurogenesis in the hypothalamus is linked to improvements in learning as well as in memory. For example, one study demonstrated exercise-induced neurogenesis in the hippocampus improved spatial memory.

Powerful 3-Minute Exercise Improves Memory and Brain Power
An exercise to improve mental health and acuity was featured in a Los Angeles CBS News report that has an MD, a Yale neurobiologist, an occupational therapist, educators, and parents endorsing it. It is a simple routine, and it has created positive results for learning disabled and autistic children as well as older Alzheimer’s victims. And it’s useful for any kind of brain fog or dullness, even emotional instability. It can improve memory and focus, and it’s even made some a little smarter. It seems to work for everyone regardless of mental condition. How to Do This Simple Exercise With your feet pointing straight ahead, spread them apart about shoulder width. Grab your right earlobe with the thumb and finger of your left hand. Cross over your left arm and do the same using your right hand on the left earlobe. Then squat as fully as you can, breathing in. That’s a little counter intuitive, but that’s what you do. Breathe in as you squat. Then breathe out as you stand. So the breathing needs to be synchronized with the squats. Continue this motion repetitively while holding both earlobes for three minutes. That may be too much at first, so start with one minute. One can go up to five minutes, but three is good enough. This can be done by anyone at any age and should be done on a daily basis until the fog lifts! How It Works Los Angeles physician Dr. Eric Robins says that the brain cells and neurons are energized with this simple exercise. He prescribes it to his patients …
