Exercise supports cognition, mood, and resilience

Caption

Exercise supports cognition, mood, and resilience through improved cerebrovascular function, elevated BDNF and neuroplasticity (including hippocampal volume), reduced inflammation, better metabolic control, and signaling along the muscle–brain axis (myokines). These effects complement structured prescribing of physical activity as a core component of brain-health care.
