Neuroplasticity is the process by which neurons adapt to a disturbance over time, and most often occurs in response to repeated exposure to stimuli. [27] Aerobic exercise increases the production of neurotrophic factors [note 1] (e.g., BDNF, IGF-1, VEGF) which mediate improvements in cognitive functions and various forms of memory by promoting blood vessel formation in the brain, adult ...
Scientists say the findings could lead to new exercise-based treatments to improve cognitive health across a range of health conditions. Dopamine released during exercise linked to improved ...
The dopamine neurons of the dopaminergic pathways synthesize and release the neurotransmitter dopamine. [2] [3] Enzymes tyrosine hydroxylase and dopa decarboxylase are required for dopamine synthesis. [4] These enzymes are both produced in the cell bodies of dopamine neurons. Dopamine is stored in the cytoplasm and vesicles in axon terminals.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that regulates arousal, motivation, muscular coordination, and endurance performance, among other things. [12] Dopamine levels have been found to be lower after prolonged exercise. [13] A decrease in dopamine can decrease athletic performance as well as mental motivation.

Endorphin production can be triggered by vigorous aerobic exercise. The release of β-endorphin has been postulated to contribute to the phenomenon known as "runner's high". [40] [41] However, several studies have supported the hypothesis that the runner's high is due to the release of endocannabinoids rather than that of endorphins. [42]
Dopamine is a crucial neurotransmitter involved in our brain’s reward system. ... actually starting in late fall, to start increasing my exercise intensity to help counterbalance the cycles of ...
Some dopamine receptors are located in the walls of arteries, where they act as a vasodilator and an inhibitor of norepinephrine release from postganglionic sympathetic nerves terminals (dopamine can inhibit norepinephrine release by acting on presynaptic dopamine receptors, and also on presynaptic α-1 receptors, like norepinephrine itself).
