Exercise-enhanced neuroplasticity targeting motor and cognitive circuitry in Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: Exercise interventions in individuals with Parkinson's disease incorporate goal-based motor skill training to engage cognitive circuitry important in motor learning and aerobic activity have the potential to improve both cognitive and automatic components of motor control in Individuals with mild to moderate disease through experience-dependent neuroplasticity.

Effects of Physical Exercise on Cognitive Functioning and Wellbeing: Biological and Psychological Benefits.

TL;DR: This concise review addresses the biological and psychological positive effects of PE describing the results obtained on brain plasticity and epigenetic mechanisms in animal and human studies, in order to clarify how to maximize the positive results of PE while avoiding negative consequences, as in the case of exercise addiction.

Clinical characteristics, pathophysiology, and management of noncentral nervous system cancer-related cognitive impairment in adults.

TL;DR: A recent review as mentioned in this paper synthesizes the current literature with a deliberate focus on CRCI within the context of breast cancer, and a hypothetical case-study approach is used to illustrate how CRCI often presents clinically and how current science can inform practice.
