Exercise Enhances and Protects Brain Function

1 Apr 2002

Abstract excerpt

COTMAN, C.W., and C. ENGESSER-CESAR. Exercise enhances and protects brain function. Exerc. Sport Sci. Rev., Vol. 30, No. 2, pp. 75–79, 2002. Physical activity, in the form of voluntary wheel running, induces gene expression changes in the brain. Animals that exercise show an increase in brain-derived neurotrophic factor, a molecule that increases neuronal survival, enhances learning, and protects against...
