Physical activity can treat and prevent depressive symptoms, but its antidepressant
mechanisms are yet to be established. In this review, we comprehensively assess key …

The study of brain plasticity has tended to focus on the synapse, where well-described
activity-dependent mechanisms are known to play a key role in learning and memory …

Depression is a syndrome of stress-and emotion-dysregulation, involving compromised
structural integrity of frontal-limbic networks. Meta-analytic evidence indicates that volumetric …

Aerobic exercise improves cognitive and motor function by inducing neural changes
detected using molecular, cellular, and systems level neuroscience techniques. This review …

Physical activity (PA) is known to maintain and improve neurocognitive health. However,
there is still a poor understanding of the mechanisms by which PA exerts its effects on the …

OBJECTIVE: To conduct a systematic review of studies in which the impact of physical
activity on brain structure and function in children and adolescents is examined. DATA …

The number of studies investigating exercise and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF)-related
changes in the functional and structural organization of brain networks continues to rise …

Studies have shown that aerobic exercise has the potential to improve cognition and reduce
brain atrophy in older adults. However, the literature is equivocal with regards to the …

Objective To determine the effects of low-vs. high-intensity aerobic and resistance training
on motor and cognitive function, brain activation, brain structure, and neurochemical …

Degeneration of cerebral white matter (WM), or structural disconnection, is one of the major
neural mechanisms driving age-related decline in cognitive functions, such as processing …
