Exercise-Induced Neuroplasticity: A Mechanistic Model and Prospects for Promoting Plasticity

Abstract: Aerobic exercise improves cognitive and motor function by inducing neural changes detected using molecular, cellular, and systems level neuroscience techniques. This review unifies the knowledge gained across various neuroscience techniques to provide a comprehensive profile of the neural mechanisms that mediate exercise-induced neuroplasticity. Using a model of exercise-induced neuroplasticity, this review emphasizes the sequence of neural events that accompany exercise, and ultimately promote changes in huma… Show more

“…PE is a first-choice treatment in the management of CMP [9][10][11][12][13][14], and PE in particular has proven to be a useful tool in the treatment of CMP. Furthermore, certain modalities of PE promote neurogenesis, neuroplastic changes at the brain level [54][55][56][57][58][59], and descending inhibitory pain pathways activation [60,61]. Thus, a therapeutic approach based on the combination of PNE and PE can improve quality of life and disability, decreasing the pain intensity of patients with CMP and those suffering from chronic spinal pain (CSP).…”

“…Research demonstrates that habitual engagement in physical activity alters brain structure and function, 4 and this, in turn, may facilitate future exercise behavior. 5 As such, the physical activity-brain relationship is thought to occur bi-directionally.…”

“…The exact neurophysiological mechanism that is affected by acute exercise is s ll unknown but it is es mated that exercise may intensify the courses of neuroplas city at 12 molecular and cellular level. Thus, further work in future is an cipated to explicate the specific mechanisms by which the exercise affects the human cogni on.…”
