Scientists have uncovered how exercise directly influences brain health in Alzheimer's disease by pinpointing the exact brain cells affected. Using cutting-edge RNA sequencing and mouse models, researchers identified changes in specific cells like microglia and a novel type of astrocyte after exercise.
This was a study on mice using a running wheel and how their brains changed, which they then compared to human brain tissue from people who had Alzheimer.
I’m sure running helps, but the headline is a bit sensationalized.
Well, they only tested running, they can’t factually generalize to all cardio. It’s kind of hard getting mice to stay on a bike.
