In the brain, serotonin is a neurotransmitter and regulates arousal, behavior, sleep, and mood, among other things. [9] During prolonged exercise where central nervous system fatigue is present, serotonin levels in the brain are higher than normal physiological conditions; these higher levels can increase perceptions of effort and peripheral muscle fatigue. [9]
Neuroplasticity is the process by which neurons adapt to a disturbance over time, and most often occurs in response to repeated exposure to stimuli. [27] Aerobic exercise increases the production of neurotrophic factors [note 1] (e.g., BDNF, IGF-1, VEGF) which mediate improvements in cognitive functions and various forms of memory by promoting blood vessel formation in the brain, adult ...
We dove into the scientific research and asked a neuropsychologist to explain what happens to your brain when you exercise. Here’s what we learned. (Spoiler: Bed rotting isn’t doing your brain ...

Scientists say the brain benefits of daily exercise may extend to the next day instead of just a few hours after workouts. Getting more deep sleep may add to this cognitive improvement ...
In adults, exercise depletes the plasma glucose available to the brain: short intense exercise (35 min ergometer cycling) can reduce brain glucose uptake by 32%. [39] At rest, energy for the adult brain is normally provided by glucose but the brain has a compensatory capacity to replace some of this with lactate.
