Beneficial Effects of Exercise on the Brain and in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the role of exercise on the brain during the ageing process has received considerable attention from the scientific community. This Special Issue of Brain Sciences aims to present a collection of innovative studies detailing the most recent advances in the field of exercise and neuroscience in healthy and pathological older people. Authors are invited to submit cutting-edge research and reviews addressing a wide range of topics related to exercise and the brain, including the epidemiology, the acute and chronic role of exercise on cognitive function, mechanisms by which exercise can alter brain function using new technologies (e.g., NIRS, MRI, Doppler, wearable sensors, AI), and the identification of biomarkers. In particular, we wish to present advances in exercise and neuroscience research that may have an important translational effect in the clinical field.
