Abstract
Exercise is seen to physically improve the health and function of the brain. This involves a variety of molecular and cellular mechanisms, including significant increases of beneficial neurotrophic factors like BDNF. In addition, neurogenesis in the hippocampus is also increased after exercise. Hippocampal vascular structures, like blood flow, are improved. Plasticity is also improved. Additional molecular mechanisms can contribute to alleviate symptoms of aging and more serious neuropathic diseases. Negative factors like inflammation and reactive oxygen species are mitigated
