Brain Cells Conduct Antidepressant Action Even in the Absence of Activity

In the absence of neural activity, BDNF expression can still be activated. The findings shed light on how therapeutic ketamine used has an antidepressant effect and how it works in both the long and short term.

Six Minutes of Daily High-Intensity Exercise Could Delay the Onset of Alzheimer’s Disease

Researchers report six minutes of high-intensity exercise on a regular basis can slow brain aging and delay the onset of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. High-intensity exercise increases the production of BDNF, a protein implicated in memory, learning, and brain plasticity, which could protect the brain from age-related cognitive decline.
