"....Meanwhile, blood
samples taken throughout the experiment offered a biological explanation
for the boost in memory among the exercisers. Immediately after the
strenuous activity, the cyclists had significantly higher levels of a
protein known as brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, which is
known to promote the health of nerve cells. The men who had sat quietly
showed no comparable change in BDNF levels.
For some time,
scientists have believed that BDNF helps explain why mental functioning
appears to improve with exercise. However, they haven’t fully understood
which parts of the brain are affected or how those effects influence
thinking. The Irish study suggests that the increases in BDNF prompted
by exercise may play a particular role in improving memory and recall....."
