Robert Lustig, MD: BDNF is the Driver of Mental Function Due to Exercise
Short excerpt from a YouTube video in which Robert Lustig states that BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) is the driver of improved mental function and that exercise increases BDNF. He links increased BDNF to larger hippocampal volume and better memory, and notes that aging and reduced serotonin (part of metabolic syndrome) lower BDNF and contribute to hippocampal shrinkage and cognitive decline.
