Question

True or False. Research concluded that physical activity nourishes the brain through an increased production of BDNF, resulting in improved learning capabilities.

Answer 1

It is TRUE that research has concluded that physical activity nourishes the brain through increased production of BDNF, resulting in improved learning capabilities.

Explanation:

• Physical activity, though not directly, plays the role of a catalyst in the development and survival of nerve cells.
• When an individual engages in physical activity, his brain produces a special protein named brain-derived neurotrophic factor. This protein is structured by a gene with the same name and is responsible for the maturation and regeneration of nerve cells.
