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

Eccentric exercise is characterized by initial unfavorable effects such as subcellular muscle
damage, pain, reduced fiber excitability, and initial muscle weakness. However, stretch …

The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the impact of a single bout of high-
intensity aerobic exercise on 1) long-term potentiation (LTP)-like neuroplasticity via …

Physical exercise may improve cognitive function by modulating molecular and cellular
mechanisms within the brain. We propose that the facilitation of long-term synaptic …

Long-term exercise is associated with improved performance on a variety of cognitive tasks
including attention, executive function, and long-term memory. Remarkably, recent studies …

Studies investigating the effects of cardiovascular exercise on memory traditionally have
used either acute or long-term exercise interventions. Acute interventions consist of …

A single bout of cardiovascular exercise can enhance plasticity in human cortex; however,
the intensity required for optimal enhancement is debated. We investigated the effect of …

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) inhibition shapes motor cortex output, gates synaptic
plasticity in the form of long-term potentiation, and plays an important role in motor learning …

Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to undergo structural and functional adaptations in
response to experience, and this process is associated with learning, memory and …

Emerging evidence suggests that regular physical activity can impact cortical function and
facilitate plasticity. In the present study, we examined how physical activity levels influence …
