A single session of moderate intensity exercise influences memory, endocannabinoids and brain derived neurotrophic factor levels in men

Abstract Regular physical exercise enhances memory functions, synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus, and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels. Likewise, short periods of exercise, or acute exercise, benefit hippocampal plasticity in rodents, via increased endocannabinoids (especially ana...
