Promoting regular exercise to protect brain health

Regular exercise is a critical step in maintaining healthy physiology and ensuring healthy aging. However, there are many diseases and conditions that make exercise inaccessible or reduce its efficacy. The Wessells lab studies exercise and the pathways it works through to identify key molecules required for a proper exercise response.
