“Most importantly, it plays a role in neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to reorganize and remodel itself. Neuroplasticity is impaired in depression and other mental disorders; however, exercise increases BDNF and may be responsible for improvements in cognition and mood.”

“Lactate is a fuel and inter-organ signal, not merely a waste product. Human work links higher exercise lactate with circulating BDNF and selected acute executive-function outcomes, while animal and mechanistic studies support possible effects on neurogenesis.”

“Furthermore, emerging research underscores the importance of shear force in blood flow and its impact on neurotrophic factors like BDNF and VEGF at the blood-brain barrier. In this clip, Dr. Martin Gibala examines the cognitive benefits of HIIT and the emerging insights on lactate's role in brain health.”

“Dr. Patrick also describes a proposed anti-metastatic mechanism: faster blood flow during vigorous exercise increases shear forces on circulating tumor cells, the cells that have left a primary tumor and entered the bloodstream.”

“Moreover, IF, intermittent exercise and intellectual stimulation increase neurotrophic factors, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF, essential for learning and memory and plays a role in appetite).”

“The benefits associated with intermittent fasting include metabolic switching, ketone body production, BDNF production, autophagy induction, and many others. But much of the research on intermittent fasting has been conducted in people or animals with poor health or a sedentary lifestyle, with fewer studies in active, healthy weight people.”

“FoundMyFitness Topic - Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) – Vigorous intensity exercise robustly increases BDNF concentrations in the body, providing a possible link between exercise and improved mental and cognitive health.”

“Dr. Patrick distinguishes human associations between exercise lactate and circulating BDNF or norepinephrine from animal evidence for direct brain BDNF effects. She also discusses serotonin and norepinephrine signaling, focus, and impulse control.”

“Dr. Patrick discusses norepinephrine and BDNF responses and distinguishes human acute biomarker or cognitive findings from animal evidence for direct brain adaptations. She also describes lactate signaling at the blood-brain barrier through VEGF, angiogenesis, vascular repair, and density.”
