Effect of aerobic exercise on hippocampal volume in humans: A systematic review and meta‐analysis (2018, neutral): “These animal studies have shown that voluntary exercise is associated with hippocampal neurogenesis (Van Praag, 2008) and prevents agerelated decline in cell-proliferation in this brain structure.”
The Effects of Acute Exercise on Mood, Cognition, Neurophysiology, and Neurochemical Pathways: A Review (2016, background): “, weeks to months of increased exercise) on hippocampal function, with special emphasis on exercise-induced adult hippocampal neurogenesis and hippocampal-dependent learning and memory [5, 6].”
Exercise and the brain: something to chew on (2009, methodology): “Specific to the hippocampus, a brain area important for learning and memory, is the robust increase in new neurons with exercise [30].”
Physical activity and academic achievement in children: A historical perspective (2012, background): “103 Neuroelectric measures have shown improved cognitive control and attention in children after acute and chronic PA. 94 PA may also inﬂuence ﬁtness, other social cognitive factors, and other health characteristics that may serve as mediators or moderators of this relationship.”
