TLDR
A comprehensive, neurocognitive model to account for the psychological consequences of acute exercise is presented and the proposed mechanistic explanation meaningfully integrates this body of brain and behavioral data into a single, unified model.

The Effects of Acute Exercise on Mood, Cognition, Neurophysiology, and Neurochemical Pathways: A Review

TL;DR: The cognitive and behavioral changes that occur with acute exercise in humans and animal model studies documenting the wide range of neurophysiological and neurochemical alterations that occur after a single bout of exercise are summarized.

Social Baseline Theory: The Role of Social Proximity in Emotion and Economy of Action

TL;DR: The Social Baseline Theory (SBT) as discussed by the authors proposes that the primary ecology to which human beings are adapted is one that is rich with other humans and suggests that the presence of other people helps individuals to conserve important and often metabolically costly somatic and neural resources through the social regulation of emotion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential effects of differing intensities of acute exercise on speed and accuracy of cognition: A meta-analytical investigation

TL;DR: It was concluded that increased arousal during moderate intensity exercise resulted in faster speed of processing and the very limited effect on accuracy may be due to the failure to choose tests which are complex enough to measure exercise-induced changes in accuracy of performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Positive effect of acute mild exercise on executive function via arousal-related prefrontal activations: an fNIRS study.

TL;DR: Empirical evidence is provided that an acute bout of mild exercise improves executive function mediated by the exercise-induced arousal system, which intensifies cortical activation in task-related prefrontal sub-regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential Effects of Acute and Regular Physical Exercise on Cognition and Affect

TL;DR: The effects of regular exercise versus a single bout of exercise on cognition, anxiety, and mood were systematically examined in healthy, sedentary young adults to determine brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) allelic status, indicating that altered activity-dependent release of BDNF in Met allele carriers may attenuate the cognitive benefits of exercise.

The unity and diversity of executive functions and their contributions to complex "Frontal Lobe" tasks: a latent variable analysis.

TL;DR: The results suggest that it is important to recognize both the unity and diversity ofExecutive functions and that latent variable analysis is a useful approach to studying the organization and roles of executive functions.

Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain

TL;DR: The authors argued that rational decisions are not the product of logic alone - they require the support of emotion and feeling, drawing on his experience with neurological patients affected with brain damage, Dr Damasio showed how absence of emotions and feelings can break down rationality.

Updating P300: An Integrative Theory of P3a and P3b

TL;DR: The empirical and theoretical development of the P300 event-related brain potential is reviewed by considering factors that contribute to its amplitude, latency, and general characteristics.

The relation of strength of stimulus to rapidity of habit-formation

TL;DR: In connection with a study of various aspects of the modifiability of behavior in the dancing mouse a need for definite knowledge concerning the relation of strength of stimulus to rate of learning arose, the experiments which are now to be described arose.
