- Neurobiological_effects_of_physical_exercise abstract "Physical exercise, particularly continuous aerobic exercises such as running, cycling and swimming, has many cognitive benefits and effects on the brain. Influences on the brain include increases in neurotransmitter levels, improved oxygen and nutrient delivery, and increased neurogenesis in the hippocampus. The effects of exercise on memory have important implications for improving children's academic performance, maintaining mental abilities in old age, and the prevention and potential cure of neurological diseases.Exercise has many physiological benefits, including advantageous effects on learning and memory. Gene expression associated with brain plasticity increases with exercise, which enhances neurogenesis, blood flow, and neuronal resistance to injury, specifically in the hippocampus. The hippocampus is crucial for learning and memory storage. Neuroimaging techniques also show changes in brain structure and function with regular exercise in human studies. Increases in cerebral blood volume in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus are associated with verbal learning and memory improvements, with cerebral blood volume possibly indicating neurogenesis. Animal research has shown that exercise increases neuronal growth, cognitive function, and positively impacts neural systems associated with learning and memory.Physical activity benefits cognition as a whole. Specifically, however, executive control processes (such as working memory, multitasking or planning) are more positively affected in comparison to other regions of the brain. This demonstrates the direct link between the improvement in memory processes and aerobic exercise. The prefrontal cortex is primarily responsible for supporting executive control processes, and studies suggest exercise may be used as an intervention to prevent age-related decline in executive control and memory.The type of exercise is also related to the neurological improvements seen. Aerobic exercise (also known as "cardio") is physical exercise of relatively low intensity. People that regularly participate in aerobic exercise have greater scores on neuropsychological function and performance tests compared to people that participate in strength and flexibility training. Examples of aerobic exercise that produce these changes are running, jogging, and brisk walking, swimming, and cycling.".
