   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 ...

   Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), or abrineurin, [5] is a protein [6] that, in humans, is encoded by the BDNF gene. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] BDNF is a member of the neurotrophin family of growth factors, which are related to the canonical nerve growth factor (NGF), a family which also includes NT-3 and NT-4 /NT-5.

7. Epigenetics of physical exercise - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetics_of_physical...

   One of the key functions of BDNF is to inhibit reactive oxygen species(ROS) which have been seen to damage cells and consequently discourage proper brain functioning. Physical exercise patients undergoing a high-intensity workout showed a notable increase in ROS that could significantly counter the benefits of moderate BDNF levels discussed ...
