Autophagy Mediates the Effects of Physical Exercise on Learning and Memory through Activation of Hippocampal BDNF by Jabr, Vanessa

“…Our work revealed that 10-week-old exercising mice that were treated with a brain-permeable autophagy inhibitor during the behavioral test showed cognitive deficits in the maze suggesting that induction of autophagy is necessary for exercise-induced learning and memory formation. Interestingly, we also found that inhibition of autophagy in exercising 10-week-old mice decreases BDNF protein levels in the hippocampus as compared to the control exercising group. …”
