Sustained aerobic exercise increases adult neurogenesis in the brain

Monday, February 8, 2016 - 12:38 in Biology & Nature

It may be possible to increase the neuron reserve of the hippocampus – and thus improve preconditions for learning – by promoting neurogenesis via sustained aerobic exercise such as running. Aerobic exercise, such as running, has positive effects on brain structure and function, for example, the generation of neurons (neurogenesis) in the hippocampus, a brain […]
