Description

Synergies between physical exercise, brain stimulation, and neuroplasticity. The brain is a highly dynamic organ. This capacity, known as neuroplasticity, governs our ability to learn new skills, acquire new knowledge, and fine-tune cognition. This project aims to investigate synergies between exercise, brain stimulation, and neuroplasticity, via application of a highly innovative interdisciplinary approach combining exercise physiology and cognitive neuroscience techniques. This project will pioneer novel, non-invasive methods of harnessing neuroplasticity to improve brain function, and generate fundamental insights into the mechanisms mediating learning and memory. .
