Hi,

Exercise, the latest neuroscience suggests, does more to bolster thinking than thinking does.

Exercise does A to bolster thinking.
=Exercise does A in making thinking better.

Thinking does B to bolster thinking.
=Thinking does B in making thinking better

A>B

So it means that exercise does a better job in making thingking better than (sedentary) thinking. Correct?

I'd appreciate your help.

I'd change 'sedentary' to 'merely', but yes.
