•New autism research sheds light on how exercise boosts brain function
80% Informative
A new study published in the journal Physiology & Behavior has found that adolescent rats modeled with autism-like symptoms showed significant improvements in brain function and cognitive abilities after regular treadmill exercise.
The findings suggest that even low-intensity exercise could offer benefits for individuals with autism spectrum disorder, potentially enhancing cognitive flexibility through changes at the molecular level.
Exercise may enhance cognitive function by promoting brain plasticity through increased BDNF expression.
Exercise improved motor coordination in all rats, as evidenced by better performance on the rotarod test.
Exercise also increased levels of irisin and IL-6 in the brains of VPA -exposed rats.
