Abstract in brief

  • Exercise promotes hippocampal neurogenesis, which is linked to improvements in memory and learning.
  • Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a key molecule that mediates the effects of exercise on neurogenesis by influencing neuron differentiation and survival.
  • While much research has been conducted in rodents, understanding of BDNF's role in human hippocampal neurogenesis is limited, highlighting the need for further studies using indirect measures and genetic analysis.]

@wszczeklik @Igor_psycholog Aktywność fizyczna również dobrze wpływa na głowę, zwiększa BDNF,a na starość jest czynnikiem chroniącym przed otępieniem. Ale trening poznawczy też zwiększa BDNF.

@delveselves @McGahee220 and here new neurons can be generated in the adult brain via neurogenesis, which can attenuate the deleterious effects of neurodegeneration. It has been linked to exercise, and is mediated by BDNF. https://t.co/BiSL0XX5EW
