Learning memory and brain repair depend on the ability of our neurons to change with experiencen says a new study. Researchers in Italy concluded following a study that exercise may enhance the essential plasticity of the adult brain. We provide the first demonstration that moderate levels of physical activity enhance neuroplasticity in the visual cortex of adult humans said Claudia Lunghi from the University of Pisa in Italy. By showing that moderate levels of physical activity can boost the plastic potential of the adult visual cortex our results pave the way to the development of non-invasive therapeutic strategies exploiting the
