THE EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON DENDRITIC SPINE DENSITY: IMPLICATIONS FOR EXERCISE-INDUCED MEMORY ENHANCEMENT
Journal Title: National Journal of Integrated Research in Medicine - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of this brief review was to highlight the potential mediational role of dendritic spine morphology on the exercisememory interaction. I frst start out delineating the role of dendritic spine density on episodic memory function and then discuss mechanisms involved in spine density alteration. Following this, I discuss the effects that exercise has on dendritic spine density, including its underlying mechanisms. Ultimately, this discussion will provide us with greater insights on the mediating mechanisms through which exercise may influence episodic memory function.
