Exercise and Cognition
Exercise has been shown to significantly enhance learning and memory through mechanisms such as neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. Engaging in 180 to 200 minutes of moderate cardiovascular exercise weekly can improve brain health and cognitive function. The relationship between exercise and memory formation highlights the importance of blood flow and overall cardiovascular fitness in supporting neurogenesis.In this clip
