Autophagy Mediates the Effects of Physical Exercise on Learning and Memory through Activation of Hippocampal BDNF

Physical exercise is known to enhance learning and memory formation in the brain. These positive outcomes are mediated through the induction of the expression of a growth factor, brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), in the hippocampus. BDNF promotes cognitive behaviors and induces brain plastic...
