Prescribing movement for the brain: The neuroprotective case for exercise
Cardiovascular health, metabolic balance, and improved mood are well-established outcomes of regular exercise. But an expanding body of neurobiology research reveals that the most remarkable benefits may occur in the brain – where physical activity enhances neuroplasticity, promotes cellular repair, and supports cognitive longevity.
