In an aging population with increasing incidence of dementia and cognitive impairment,
strategies are needed to slow age-related decline and reduce disease-related cognitive …

Physical fitness, achieved through regular exercise and/or spontaneous physical activity,
confers resilience by inducing positive psychological and physiological benefits, blunting …

We have recently shown that a single bout of acute cardiovascular exercise improves motor
skill learning through an optimization of long-term motor memory. Here we expand this …

Executive function declines with age, but engaging in aerobic exercise may attenuate
decline. One mechanism by which aerobic exercise may preserve executive function is …

Dietary interventions have emerged as effective environmental inducers of brain plasticity.
Among these dietary interventions, we here highlight the impact of caloric restriction (CR: a …

Studies indicate the involvement of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the
pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Decreased BDNF levels may constitute a lack of …

Physical activity (PA) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are associated with better cognitive
function in late life, but the neural correlates for these relationships are unclear. To study …

It is generally understood that regular moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA)
promotes good health from head to toe. Evidence also supports the notion that too much …

Cumulative evidence has indicated that there is an important role for adult hippocampal
neurogenesis in cognitive function. With the increasing prevalence of cognitive decline …

For more than two decades, there have been extensive studies of experience-based neural
plasticity exploring effective applications of brain plasticity for cognitive and motor …
