Physical exercise in overweight to obese individuals induces metabolic- and neurotrophic-related structural brain plasticity

Physical exercise in overweight to obese individuals induces metabolic- and neurotrophic-related structural brain plasticity

Previous cross-sectional studies on body-weight-related alterations in brain structure revealed profound changes in the gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) that resemble findings obtained from individuals with advancing age.
