Bridging animal and human models of exercise-induced brain plasticity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of exercise on hippocampal structure and function, addressing common themes such as spatial memory and pattern separation, brain structure and plasticity, neurotrophic factors, and vasculature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combined adult neurogenesis and BDNF mimic exercise effects on cognition in an Alzheimer’s mouse model

TL;DR: Exercise-induced AHN improved cognition along with reduced Aβ load and increased levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), interleukin-6 (IL-6), fibronectin type III domain–containing protein–5 (FNDC5), and synaptic markers, however, AHN activation was also required for exercise-induced improvement in memory.
Journal ArticleDOI

When Neurogenesis Encounters Aging and Disease

TL;DR: Evidence that a reduction in neurogenesis underlies aging-related cognitive deficits and impairments in disorders such as Alzheimer's disease is considered, and knowledge of the underlying neurogenic signaling pathways could lead to novel therapeutic strategies for preserving brain function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Running is the neurogenic and neurotrophic stimulus in environmental enrichment

TL;DR: It is concluded that exercise is the critical factor mediating increased BDNF levels and adult hippocampal neurogenesis, and new cell proliferation, survival, neuron number, and neurotrophin levels were enhanced only when running was accessible.
Journal ArticleDOI

Running-Induced Systemic Cathepsin B Secretion Is Associated with Memory Function.

TL;DR: It is shown that a muscle secretory factor, cathepsin B (CTSB) protein, is important for the cognitive and neurogenic benefits of running, and CTSB as a mediator of effects of exercise on cognition is suggested.
