From Physorg.com: A study on mice showed that even a few days of running or jogging stimulates the brain to grow new cells in a part of the brain involved in memory and recall. The study was done by neuroscientists from University of Cambridge in the UK and the National Institute on Aging in Baltimore in the US.
Running mice grew an average of 6,000 new brain cells per cubic millimeter in the dentate gyrus part of the hippocampus. Exercise keeps the brain healthy by increasing synaptic plasticity and by stimulating the brain to produce new cells(neurogenisis=neuro+genisis[birth]).
