Clinical evidence has shown that physical exercise during pregnancy may alter brain
development and improve cognitive function of offspring. However, the mechanisms through …

Both epidemiologic and laboratory studies suggest that parents can shape their offspring's
development. Recently, it has been shown that maternal exercise during pregnancy benefits …

Substantial research has established that exercise can improve mental health and cognitive
function in both human and non-human animals. Exercise has been shown to improve …

Physical activities for a few days can increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)
mRNA in rat hippocampus. To investigate the influence of maternal exercise during …

Maternal exercise during pregnancy has been suggested to exert the beneficial effects on
the brain functions of offspring. In the present study, we attempted to determine the effects of …

The beneficial effects of exercise on learning and memory are well documented but the
effects of prenatal exposure to maternal exercise on offspring are not clear yet. Using a two …

In the present study, the effects of maternal swimming during pregnancy on the short-term
memory ability, hippocampal neurogenesis, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) …

Objective (s): The effect of maternal voluntary exercise on hippocampal BDNF level in rat
offspring was studied. In addition, the possible role of hippocampal BDNF receptors in …

Maternal obesity induces hippocampal functional changes and leads to deficits in cognitive
functions, such as learning and memory in offspring. We investigated the protective effects of …

In a previous study we demonstrated that, regular aerobic exercise during pregnancy
decreased maternal deprivation induced anxiety. The purpose of this study is to investigate …
