Physical exercise prevents age-related decline in precursor cell activity in the mouse dentate gyrus
Abstract
Physical activity induces adult hippocampal neurogenesis. We here show that the acute up-regulating effect of voluntary wheel running on precursor cell proliferation decreases with continued exercise, but that continued exercise reduces the age-dependent decline in adult neurogenesis. Cell proliferation peaked at 3 days of running. After 32 days of exercise this response returned to baseline. Running-induced proliferation of transiently amplifying progenitor cells led to a consecutive increase in the number of more mature cells. Increasing age reduced adult neurogenesis at 9 months to 50% of the value at 6 weeks and to 17% at the age of 2 years. At both 1 and 2 years, precursor cell divisions remained inducible by physical activity. Exercise from 3 to 9 months of age significantly reduced the age-dependent decline in cell proliferation but (presumably in the absence of additional stimuli) did not maintain net neurogenesis at levels corresponding to a younger age. We propose that physical activity might contribute to successful aging by increasing the potential for neurogenesis represented by the pool of proliferating precursor cells.

“In some of these cases, e.g., physical exercise, evidence suggests that the number of new neurons is increased by actions at multiple stages in the adult neurogenesis process, including by stimulating the proliferation of radial stem cells and amplifying progenitor cells, leading to an increase in the production of neuroblasts (Bednarczyk et al., 2010; Kronenberg et al., 2006; Lugert et al., 2010;”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
