How exercise modulates neural plasticity and memory consolidation

该项目旨在研究人类的遗传变异如何影响运动能力，以增强神经可塑性和学习。该项目希望通过结合遗传学，运动生理学和认知神经科学的创新方法产生新的知识。预计这些结果将对人类学习，工作场所生产力以及康复和运动的培训协议产生影响。锻炼是增强神经可塑性和改善行为表现的廉价方法，这对雇主，我们的经济和个人都有好处。这项研究的一个可能的未来应用可能是基于个人遗传学的个性化大脑健康运动处方。

This project aims to examine how genetic variation in humans affects the capacity of exercise to augment neural plasticity and learning. This project expects to generate new knowledge through an innovative approach combining genetics, exercise physiology, and cognitive neuroscience. It is expected the outcomes will have implications for human learning, workplace productivity, and training protocols for rehabilitation and sport. Exercise is a cheap way to enhance neural plasticity and improve behavioural performance, which is of benefit to employers, our economy, and individuals. A possible future application of this research could be the personalised prescription of exercise for brain health based on an individual’s genetics.
