Aerobic Exercise Improves Memory in Older Adults, New Study Finds

Aerobic exercise boosts blood flow into two key regions of brain associated with memory: the anterior cingulate cortex and the hippocampus, according to new research led by neuroscientists from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Positive effects of aerobic exercise in Alzheimer’s disease may be mediated by redistribution of blood flow and neural activity in Alzheimer’s disease-sensitive regions of brain.
