“Although some of the hypoxia-associated effects of hyperbaric treatments, such as sirtuin activation, stem cell proliferation, mitochondrial biogenesis, and neurogenesis, are associated with longevity, the effects of hyperbaric therapy on cellular senescence are unknown.”

“In muscles, IGF-1 supports repair and growth by increasing receptor density and sensitivity. In the brain, IGF-1 promotes neurogenesis, particularly in memory-critical areas like the hippocampus. Exercise also binds IGF-1 to protective proteins, reducing its availability to precancerous cells.”

“Poor cerebral blood flow is commonly observed in mice and humans and may contribute to impaired amyloid-beta clearance, thereby accelerating the progression of Alzheimer's disease. In addition, heat exposure increases the production of BDNF to promote neurogenesis – the growth of new neurons in the brain (as described above).”

“Zinc and the brain Zinc exerts a diverse range of effects in the brain throughout a person’s lifespan. During development, zinc is required for the function of numerous enzymes and proteins that are necessary for neurogenesis.”

“A new study using cutting-edge techniques looked at human samples and provided pretty solid evidence of neurogenesis in adult humans. It also found that in tissue samples from people with Alzheimer's disease, neurogenesis was dramatically diminished.”

“Neurogenesis is the process of forming new neurons. It is essential during embryonic development, but also continues in certain brain regions throughout human lifespan to facilitate learning and memory formation.”

“Adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus was significantly increased by aerobic exercise while resistance training had no effect on neurogenesis but did improve strength in rats. Since both cognitive decline and frailty (decrease in strength) occur with age it may be good to engage in both aerobic and strength training.”

“The mice in the intermittent feeding group also exhibited more signs of hippocampal neurogenesis and upregulation of the klotho gene. Further analysis revealed that adult hippocampal neurogenesis is dependent upon klotho activity.”

“All of these growth factors play a role in maintaining neurons and neurogenesis (the growth of new neurons) and have been shown to cause exercise-induced neurogenesis in animal studies. Just so many reasons to be physically active.”

“Lactate, a molecule produced during vigorous exercise, also has robust effects on the brain, influencing neurogenesis and promoting cognitive function. Learn more in this episode featuring Dr. George Brooks. Read full publication.”
