Can Exercise Rewire the Brain? New Research Suggests It Does More Than Build Muscle For decades, the benefits of exercise have been explained largely through its effects on muscles, the heart, metabolism, and overall fitness. However, emerging research suggests that regular physical activity may also reshape the nervous system itself. A recent perspective published in Autonomic Neuroscience: Basic and Clinical highlights growing evidence that exercise induces neural plasticity, the brain and nervous system's ability to reorganize and adapt, in both the central nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. One of the key studies discussed found that steroidogenic factor-1 (SF1) neuron
