Maybe I’m cynical, but it seems the timing of the findings from this research fits very nicely with the push for physical fitness and eating right and taxing evil foods by the OA....

"The new study, which used magnetic resonance imaging to measure the relative size of specific structures in the brains of 49 child subjects, appears in the journal Brain Research." Without commenting on the merits of the study's findings - maybe they're accurate, maybe they aren't - is 49 a reasonable sample size upon which to base any conclusion - especially a conclusion grounded entirely in observational science? I don't know.

Those who are more fit tend to have a bigger hippocampus and perform better on a test of memory than their less-fit peers.

What about those who had a hippocampectomy? Or those who suffer from hippocamrectomy?

Higher-class parents tend to be trimmer and have trimmer kids. It is not unreasonable to expect they have higher IQ’s and better memories as well. On the other hand, exercise is being shown to improve function among the elderly and now regular adults as well, so it is not unreasonable to expect that it might boost the brains of children too.
