Physical activity and depression: Towards understanding the antidepressant mechanisms of physical activity
Physical activity can treat and prevent depressive symptoms, but its antidepressant
mechanisms are yet to be established. In this review, we comprehensively assess key …

[HTML][HTML] Human hippocampal neurogenesis persists throughout aging
Adult hippocampal neurogenesis declines in aging rodents and primates. Aging humans are
thought to exhibit waning neurogenesis and exercise-induced angiogenesis, with a resulting …
