Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiple studies have found that aerobic exercise can increase the production of new neurons in the brain, particularly in the hippocampus. This effect is thought to be due to increased blood flow and oxygen to the brain during exercise, as well as the release of growth factors that support neuron growth and survival. While meditation, optimism, and social support may have other benefits for brain health and functioning, there is less direct evidence linking them to neurogenesis.
