Neurogenesis and Exercise
45:48 - 53:32 (07:43)
Studies have shown controversial evidence that new neurons can be born in the adult human brain, even in old age. In rodents, it has been shown that exercising can trigger the birth of new neurons, and the release of certain myokines into the bloodstream help it cross into the brain to aid in this process.

Exercise-induced neurotrophic factors such as myokines and ketones have been found to increase the growth of new hippocampal brain cells.

Summary
Exercise-induced neurotrophic factors such as myokines and ketones have been found to increase the growth of new hippocampal brain cells. Some of these factors traverse the blood-brain barrier and can function even if you're ingesting carbohydrates and not ketogenic.

Recent studies demonstrate the growth of new neurons into the ninth decade of life in adult human brains, with running on a wheel triggering neurogenesis in rodents, leading to the birth of new neurons and the addition of new neurons to the hippocampus.
