Sex differences in exercise efficacy to improve cognition: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials in older humans
TLDR
It is suggested that women's executive processes may benefit more from exercise than men, and aerobic training led to greater benefits than resistance training in global cognitive function and executive functions, while multimodal combinedTraining led togreat benefits than aerobic training for global Cognitive function, episodic memory, and word fluency.About:

Lifestyle interventions to prevent cognitive impairment, dementia and Alzheimer disease.
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the current knowledge of lifestyle-related risk factors and results from novel trials aiming to prevent cognitive decline and dementia is presented, including the World Wide FINGERS network, which aims to harmonize studies on dementia prevention, generate high-quality scientific evidence and promote its implementation.

Applications of Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) Neuroimaging in Exercise⁻Cognition Science: A Systematic, Methodology-Focused Review.
TL;DR: This review aims to summarize the current methodological knowledge about fNIRS application in studies measuring the cortical hemodynamic responses during cognitive testing, and in cross-sectional studies accounting for the physical fitness level of their participants.
Lifestyle interventions to prevent cognitive impairment, dementia and Alzheimer disease
TL;DR: The first large randomized controlled trials of multidomain lifestyle interventions to prevent cognitive impairment have been completed, and the results suggest that targeting interventions to individuals at risk of dementia is an effective strategy.

Mild exercise increases dihydrotestosterone in hippocampus providing evidence for androgenic mediation of neurogenesis
Masahiro Okamoto,Yasushi Hojo,Koshiro Inoue,Takashi Matsui,Suguru Kawato,Bruce S. McEwen,Hideaki Soya +6 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that, in male animals, mild exercise enhances hippocampal synthesis of dihydrotestosterone and increases AHN via androgenenic mediation is supported.

Sex differences in brain-derived neurotrophic factor signaling and functions.
Chi Bun Chan,Keqiang Ye +1 more
TL;DR: Current findings on the differences in expression, signaling, and functions of BDNF between sexes are summarized and sought to encourage researchers to take sex influences into consideration when designing experiments, interpreting results, and drawing conclusions.

Sex on the brain: Are gender-dependent structural and functional differences associated with behavior?
TL;DR: It is argued that some sex differences in the brain may serve to prevent (in the case where they are maladaptive), rather than to produce, differences at the behavioral/skill level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex differences in the brain: a whole body perspective
TL;DR: Evidence that sex differences in sensory systems cause male and female brains to perceive different information about the world is considered; the two sexes are also perceived by the world differently and therefore exposed to differences in experience via treatment by others.

Complementarity of sex differences in brain and behavior: From laterality to multimodal neuroimaging
Ruben C. Gur,Raquel E. Gur +1 more
TL;DR: Sex differences were apparent and consistent in neurocognitive measures, with females performing better on memory and social cognition tasks and males on spatial processing and motor speed, and indicate complementarity between the sexes that would result in greater adaptive diversity.
