SUMMARY

    Lifestyle, neural plasticity and cognitive performance Adaptive behaviours are paramount for survival: in complex multicellular organisms, environmental challenges instigate life-long morpho-functional restructuring of the nervous system, known as neural plasticity. Voluntary physical activity increases the proportion of BDNF-expressing microglia in aged (but not in adult) mice microglia, while microglial levels of BDNF were found to correlate with the density of newly generated neurones. Physical activity also . . .
