Physical activity has the power to boost your brain power and increase your self-control, according to a new study.

Children who are more physically active may behave better, exhibit more self-control and perform better in school, according to a study published Wednesday by PLOS ONE.

In addition to changes in behavior, tolcapone also increased activity in brain areas involved in self-control, particularly the inferior frontal gyrus and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
