AbstractThe brain, like any other organ in the body, is made up of various types of cells. Nerve cells called neurons are the major cells in the brain. Their main function is to transfer messages and orders to and from the organs of the body. Neurons communicate with each other and with other cells through connections that resemble electrical wires. Throughout a person’s life, neurons remodel and rewire their connections to become weaker or stronger. This remodeling is known as brain neuroplasticity, which means “the ability to adapt or change.” Neuroplasticity is affected by several factors. For example, physical activity such as exercise can reshape the brain for the better, by enhancing memory and attention. These changes can improve academic performance and protect people from certain brain diseases. These are just a few reasons why we should all exercise more often.
