The Impact of Walking on BDNF as a Biomarker of Neuroplasticity: A Systematic Review

The Impact of Walking on BDNF as a Biomarker of Neuroplasticity: A Systematic Review

Background/Objectives: The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a critical exercise-induced modulator of various neuroplasticity processes, including adult hippocampal neurogenesis. Environmental affordance for physical activity is a novel theory that aims to increase the BDNF through walking...
