So I called up the medical examiner in Florida, and I said, "Hey, you don't know me, but do you still have the brain of Andre Waters?" (Laughter) And he said, "Yes, I do."

And he said, "Well, young man, I can't give you the brain.

But if you do get the permission of his next of kin, I will release the brain to you."

And so we studied the brain, and it turned out that he did have CTE.

So we partnered with Boston University, we partnered with scientists at the VA here in Boston, and we started a brain bank.

Turns out, if you want to know how to cure degenerative brain disease, you have to start by actually studying the brains.

And so we start this brain bank, and it's my job to get the brains for Dr. Ann McKee and her brain bank, right in the middle.

And I figured out, what if we could create a culture of brain donation in this country?

What if it became normal for athletes to donate their brain after they died?

And so what I started was a brain donation registry.

And I started asking athletes if they would publicly pledge to donate their brain to science.

So when the news hit the front page, "Noah Welch pledging his brain to science," he said he went to the locker room the next day, one of his teammates pulled him aside and said, "Hey, I heard you're donating your brain to science."

And I will donate my brain to this.

We've also been lucky to have people like Brandi Chastain, the women's soccer icon, NASCAR's Dale Earnhardt Jr. Just two weeks ago, Hall-of-Famer Nick Buoniconti who had been diagnosed with dementia, signed up to pledge his brain.

This is just some of the headlines that we've able to get over the years from athletes pledging their brain.

So when we started this, only 45 cases existed in the world of this disease that had been studied in brain banks.

And now that we've gotten to know each other a little bit better, this is the time where I ask you, "Can I have your brain?"

What if I told you there was something that you can do right now that would have an immediate, positive benefit for your brain including your mood and your focus?

And what if I told you that same thing could actually last a long time and protect your brain from different conditions like depression, Alzheimer's disease or dementia.

Simply moving your body, has immediate, long-lasting and protective benefits for your brain.

So what I want to do today is tell you a story about how I used my deep understanding of neuroscience, as a professor of neuroscience, to essentially do an experiment on myself in which I discovered the science underlying why exercise is the most transformative thing that you can do for your brain today.

But it's one thing to talk about the brain, and it's another to see it.

So here is a real preserved human brain.

You have two temporal lobes in your brain, the right and the left, and deep in the temporal lobe is a key structure critical for your ability to form and retain new long-term memories for facts and events.

How could it be that an event that lasts just a moment, say, your first kiss, or the moment your first child was born, can form a memory that has changed your brain, that lasts an entire lifetime?

I wanted to start and record the activity of individual brain cells in the hippocampus as subjects were forming new memories.

I spent too much time listening to those brain cells in a dark room, by myself.

Maybe all that exercise that I had included and added to my life was changing my brain.

So as a curious neuroscientist, I went to the literature to see what I could find about what we knew about the effects of exercise on the brain.

And so now, after several years of really focusing on this question, I've come to the following conclusion: that exercise is the most transformative thing that you can do for your brain today for the following three reasons.
