Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise training increases size of hippocampus and improves memory
Kirk I. Erickson,Michelle W. Voss,Ruchika Shaurya Prakash,Chandramallika Basak,Amanda N. Szabo,Laura Chaddock,Jennifer S. Kim,Susie Heo,Heloisa Alves,Siobhan M. White,Thomas R. Wójcicki,Emily L. Mailey,Victoria J. Vieira,Stephen A. Martin,Brandt D. Pence,Jeffrey A. Woods,Edward McAuley,Arthur F. Kramer +17 more
TL;DR: It is shown that aerobic exercise training increases the size of the anterior hippocampus, leading to improvements in spatial memory, and that increased hippocampal volume is associated with greater serum levels of BDNF, a mediator of neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delayed extraction matrix‐assisted laser desorption time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry
TL;DR: In this article, a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer system is described, which provides dramatically improved performance over that obtained with identical TOF analyzers operated with constant electrical fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Is Associated with Age-Related Decline in Hippocampal Volume
Kirk I. Erickson,Ruchika Shaurya Prakash,Michelle W. Voss,Laura Chaddock,Susie Heo,Molly E. McLaren,Brandt D. Pence,Stephen A. Martin,Victoria J. Vieira,Jeffrey A. Woods,Edward McAuley,Arthur F. Kramer +11 more
TL;DR: Serum BDNF is identified as a significant factor related to hippocampal shrinkage and memory decline in late adulthood and is associated with smaller hippocampi and poorer memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurobiological markers of exercise-related brain plasticity in older adults
Michelle W. Voss,Kirk I. Erickson,Ruchika Shaurya Prakash,Laura Chaddock,Jennifer S. Kim,Heloisa Alves,Amanda N. Szabo,Siobhan M. Phillips,Thomas R. Wójcicki,Emily L. Mailey,Erin A. Olson,Neha P. Gothe,Victoria J. Vieira-Potter,Stephen A. Martin,Brandt D. Pence,Marc D. Cook,Jeffrey A. Woods,Edward McAuley,Arthur F. Kramer +18 more
TL;DR: Results are consistent with animal models of exercise and the brain, but are the first to show in humans that exercise-induced increases in temporal lobe functional connectivity are associated with changes in growth factors and may be augmented by greater baseline VEGF.
Journal Article
Exercise, inflammation and aging.
TL;DR: Key randomized clinical trial evidence regarding the influence of exercise training on inflammatory biomarkers in the elderly is highlighted and potential mechanisms will be presented that might explain why exercise may exert an anti-inflammatory effect.
