PBS Program Name:
ARC 19/20 Discovery
Grant Program:
Discovery Projects
Grant Activity:
How exercise modulates neural plasticity and memory consolidation
Purpose:
This project aims to examine how genetic variation in humans affects the capacity of exercise to augment neural plasticity and learning. This project expects to generate new knowledge through an innovative approach combining genetics, exercise physiology, and cognitive neuroscience. It is expected the outcomes will have implications for human learning, workplace productivity, and training protocols for rehabilitation and sport. Exercise is a cheap way to enhance neural plasticity and improve behavioural performance, which is of benefit to employers, our economy, and individuals. A possible future application of this research could be the personalised prescription of exercise for brain health based on an individual’s genetics.
