BBC NEWS | Health | Solo running 'few brain benefits'

Mmm, I might agree with the first part, but teh second part? I would be surprised by it.

BBC NEWS | Health | Solo running 'few brain benefits': "When isolated rats ran for a long time, they did see the same brain benefits as their short-term runner peers - but only when they had been running for a much longer period.

Writing in Nature Neuroscience, the researchers led by Dr Elizabeth Gould, say: 'In the absence of social interaction, a normally beneficial experience can exert a potentially deleterious influence on the brain.'"
