Aerobic Exercise as a Tool to Improve Hippocampal Plasticity and Function in Humans: Practical Implications for Mental Health Treatment (Kandola, 2016)

Kandola et al. (2016) reported how aerobic exercise has been associated with cognitive enhancements and stimulates neuroplastic enhancements that support improvements in hippocampal function, in human and animal models.

They propose that aerobic exercise could help major mental health issues, including schizophrenia and major depressive disorder.
