Abstract in brief

  • Running exercise significantly boosts brain health by promoting the growth of new neurons in the hippocampus, which is key for memory.
  • The study details how these new neurons and their connections evolve over time as they mature, highlighting the brain's adaptability.
  • Exercise influences crucial neurotransmitter systems, particularly glutamate and acetylcholine, which play vital roles in the early development of new neurons in adults.]
