Spontaneous eye-blink rates could be the missing link in explaining the relationship between aerobic fitness and cognitive function.
Spontaneous blink rate decreases while eyelid twitches increase when a horse experiences a stressful situation.
According to researchers, there is an optimum amount of dopamine that should be present within the brain. This optimum amount can help improve cognitive performance on tasks, researchers report.
