Abstract
Recent research suggests that the brain has capable of remarkable plasticity and physical activity can enhance it. In this editorial letter, we summarize the role of hippocampal plasticity in brain functions. Furthermore, we briefly sketched the factors and mechanisms of motion that influence brain plasticity. We conclude that physical activity can be an encouraging intervention for brain restoration through neuronal plasticity. At the same time, we suggest that a mechanistic understanding of the beneficial effects of exercise should be accompanied in future studies.
Highlights
Recent research suggests that the brain has capable of remarkable plasticity and physical activity can enhance it
Studies have demonstrated that physical activity affects brain plasticity, cognition and mood[1,2,3,4]
Adult neurons have been thought to be unable to be replaced by new cells because cell division is over, but recent studies have found that new neurons are born in select regions of the adult brain and may contribute to maintainance of neuronal function[13]
Summary
