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 it’s a bit sensationalized the headline.
No, the headline was accurate, but unfortunately the murine target audience can’t read.
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.
