They found that exercise may help cognition by increasing blood and oxygen to the brain, increasing levels of norepinephrine, and endorphins to decrease stress and improve mood, and increasing growth factors that help create new nerve cells and support synaptic plasticity.

Repeated applications of serotonin, a facilitating transmitter important in behavioral dishabituation and sensitization, produced growth of the sensory neurons that paralleled the long - term enhancement of synaptic strength.

This finding is in accordance with earlier animal model studies, which have shown that physical activity increases the amount of growth factors in the brain and improves synaptic plasticity.

«The new growth rule provides structural plasticity with a principle that is almost as simple as that of synaptic plasticity,» says co-author Arjen van Ooyen, who has been working on models for the development of neural networks for decades.

In the realm of pure research, we are steadily gaining a better understanding of how galaxies form; how a single fertilized egg turns into a fruit fly or a congressman; how synaptic growth supports long - term memory.

The long - term facilitation of synaptic efficacy that is induced by serotonin in dissociated cell cultures of sensory and motor neurons of Aplysia is accompanied by the growth of new synaptic connections.

When the synapse growth is based on the correlated development of all synaptic components, it can remain stable for long periods of time.

These neurotrophic factors stimulate the differentiation, growth and maintenance of developing neurons in addition to the survival of mature neurons, and are key players in synaptic plasticity [55, 56], cognition and memory formation [57 — 62].

The freezing process is far too slow to stop such dynamic processes as action potentials and synaptic transmission; short - term memory, however, is suspected to involve chemical modification of the neurons, and long - term memory is believed to involve the growth and modification of neuronal structures, particularly synapses (15).

By affecting the rate of cell differentiation and gene expression, thyroid hormones regulate the growth and migration of neurons, including synaptic development and myelin formation in specific brain regions.

Growth of the synaptic web is utterly different from concrete physical things which maintain cells» metabolism and alters their structural and functional energetic state.

Increased perfusion to brain tissue, decreased body weight, upregulation of growth factors and improved synaptic plasticity may all be molecular mechanisms underlying the benefits of enrichment and activity therapies.
