In cases of mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) the results of neurodiagnostic testing are usually negative. This is because the standard tests such as computerized axial tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) depict brain structure and lack the resolution to visualize the microscopic damage which occurs in MTBI cases. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a computerized scanning t...

Previous studies have shown changes in brain activity as a result of exercise; however, few studies have examined changes during exercise. The purpose of this study was to examine brain activity during a graded exercise test. Twenty male participants performed a graded exercise test on a recumbent cycle ergometer. Exercise intensity was set initially at 50W and was increased by 50W every 2 minu...

Brain development is a complex process, and stimuli during this development period may modulate the functional maturation of the brain. It has been shown that environmental stimuli, such as physical activity habits, have a beneficial effect on brain development. Endurance exercise and prolonged fasting state are known to improve brain function including cognition. The exact mechanisms of exerci...
