The hippocampus shrinks in late adulthood, leading to impaired memory and increased risk
for dementia. Hippocampal and medial temporal lobe volumes are larger in higher-fit adults, …

Deterioration of the hippocampus occurs in elderly individuals with and without dementia,
yet individual variation exists in the degree and rate of hippocampal decay. Determining the …

Significant progress has been made in understanding the neurobiological mechanisms
through which exercise protects and restores the brain. In this feature review, we integrate …

Research has shown the human brain is organized into separable functional networks
during rest and varied states of cognition, and that aging is associated with specific network …

Declines in various cognitive abilities, particularly executive control functions, are observed
in older adults. An important goal of cognitive training is to slow or reverse these age-related …

Because children are becoming overweight, unhealthy, and unfit, understanding the
neurocognitive benefits of an active lifestyle in childhood has important public health and …

This is a brief review of current evidence for the relationships between physical activity and
exercise and the brain and cognition throughout the life span in non-pathological populations…

Recent literature has demonstrated the usefulness of fitness and computer‐based cognitive
training as a means to enhance cognition and brain function. However, it is unclear whether …

Hippocampal volume shrinks in late adulthood, but the neuromolecular factors that trigger
hippocampal decay in aging humans remains a matter of speculation. In rodents, brain-…

Cerebral white matter (WM) degeneration occurs with increasing age and is associated with
declining cognitive function. Research has shown that cardiorespiratory fitness and exercise …
