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

The effect of aerobic exercise on primary motor cortical excitability is a relevant area of
interest for both motor learning and motor rehabilitation. Transient excitability changes that …

The central nervous system seems to have an important role in fatigue and exercise
tolerance. Novel noninvasive techniques of neuromodulation can provide insights on the …

Priming is a type of implicit learning wherein a stimulus prompts a change in behavior.
Priming has been long studied in the field of psychology. More recently, rehabilitation …

Background Despite growing interest in the relationship between exercise and short-term
neural plasticity, the effects of exercise on motor cortical (M1) excitability are not well …

Aerobic exercise may acutely prime the brain to be more responsive to rehabilitation, thus
facilitating neurologic recovery from conditions like stroke. This aerobic priming effect could …

There is evidence that a single session of aerobic exercise can modulate intracortical
inhibition. While decreases in inhibition appear to be a necessary precursor to the induction …

Exercise is a promising, cost-effective intervention to augment successful aging and
neurorehabilitation. Decline of gray and white matter accompanies physiological aging and …

Endurance exercise improves cardiovascular and musculoskeletal function and may also
increase the information processing capacities of the brain. Animal and human research …

Aerobic exercise can enhance neuroplasticity although presently the neural mechanisms
underpinning these benefits remain unclear. One possible mechanism is through effects on …
