How neuroplasticity is enhanced by physical exercise

How neuroplasticity is affected by physical exercise?

Newborn neurons are primarily produced in two neurogenic zones in the adult brain: the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the DG in the hippocampus and the subventricular zone.About 700 newborn neurons are estimated to be added to a unilateral hippocampus in human each day.

1.Running reverses the stress-induced impairments to learning and memory, as well as reduces depression-like behaviors, to-gether with the restored hippocampal BDNF level and re-duced GR expression.

2.physical exercise -
- secretes Neurotrophic factors
-activate Noradrenaline neurons and Na metabolite
-secretes serotonin
-modifying the adaptive response of HPA axis to stress.

3.Exerkines are used as APIs to cause effects by exercise .Exerkines are peptides, nucleic acids and metabolites re-leased following exercise from skeletal muscles (myokines) or other organs/tissues such as liver (hepatokines), ligaments and adipose tissue (adipokines).

The main points:
This review studies synaptic plasticity(Sp) and dentrite remodeling(Dr)

1.chronic stress--  <<<NTP ( Sp)&
2.Exercise --  >>>NTP(Sp) & >>spine density and branching.(Dr)
3.Exercise+Stress ---  >>>syanaptic protein (SP)
>>> Spine density

HPA = Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal 

On genetic level:
**The epigenetic effects of exercise on DNA methylation in skeletal muscles has suggested that multiple genes are potentially affected. For example, highly-intense training results in an abruptly-decreased methylation in the promotor regions of PGC1α, PDK4, and PPARδ, whereas low-intense one exerted little effect .

**For example, a six-month aerobic training affects DNA methylation of the whole ge-nome in skeletal muscles and adipose tissues. Several mi-croRNAs are associated with the exercise performance and predict the levels of maximal oxygen consumption

review lithium as mood stabilizer

1.Lithium as a mood stabilizer has been used as the standard pharmacological treatment for Bipolar Disorder (BD)   2.Recent studies have also shown that it has the potential for the treatment of many other neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease, through its neurotrophic, neuroprotective, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions. -- Therefore, exploring its pharmacokinetic features and designing better lithium preparations are becoming important research topics.  ---Lithium is rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. Its level is initially highest in serum and then is evidently redistributed to various tissue compartments. It is not metabolized and over 95% of lithium is excreted unchanged through the kidney, but different lithium preparations may have different pharmacokinetic features. Lithium has a narrow therapeutic window limited by various adverse effects, but some no...

Brain connectivity improves human aesthetic responses to music

Brain connectivity improves human aesthetic responses to music Abstract: 1. white matter connectivity between sensory processing areas in the superior temporal gyrus and emotional and social processing areas in the insula and medial prefrontal cortex explains individual differences in reward sensitivity to music. 2.  findings provide the first evidence for a neural basis of individual differences in sensory access to the reward system, and suggest that social–emotional communication through the auditory channel may offer an evolutionary basis for music making as an aesthetically rewarding function in humans. 3.carried out by -- Using a combination of survey data, behavioral and psychophysiological measures and diffusion tensor imaging, Conclusion: Results from diffusion tensor imaging show that white matter connectivity between auditory perceptual regions (pSTG) and regions of the brain important for emo- tional and social processing (aIns, mPFC) reflect individual diffe...

Drug toxicity of psychotropic drugs

Drug toxicity of psychotropic drugs. Drug toxicity is the development of severe, drug-related complications, which may require premature drug withdrawal or dose reduction. 1. acute toxicity is  highest in.                  antidepressants  lower in neuroleptics   very low in anxiolytics. 2. major problems stem  Anxiolytic ---misuse and overuse. neuroleptics --- tardive dyskinesia is a serious threat to longterm therapy.   antidepressants ---low therapeutic index and a resulting high incidence of severe and fatal poisoning cases, both intentional and accidental. 3.Poisoning death rates per million prescriptions were about 10 times higher for tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) than for selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), England and Wales, 1993-2004 4 .Psychotropic drugs with hepatotoxic potential can be classified based on their intended use:  1) antipsychoticsneuroleptics including phenothiazine...
