There is increasing evidence that exercise improves brain function and may prevent the onset of neurodegeneration; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. New research by de Miguel et al. in Nature shows that runner mouse plasma contains factors, in particular, clusterin, that recapitulate the stimulating effects of exercise on hippocampal cell genesis and memory, and reduce neuroinflammation when administered to sedentary controls.
