Unit 6 How Exercise Beefs Up the Brain By?Kelly Servick 运动如何改善大脑健康 (1) While our muscles pump iron, our cells pump out something else: molecules that help maintain a healthy brain. But scientists have struggled to account for the well-known mental benefits of exercise, from counteracting depression and aging to fighting Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Now, a research team may have finally found a molecular link between a workout and a healthy brain. And the link between exercise and BDNF is widely accepted. “The phenomenon has been established over the course of, easily, the last decade,” says neuroscientist Barbara Hempstead of Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City, who was not involved in the new work. “It’s just, we didn’t understand the mechanism.” 研究论文的共同作者也是哈佛医学院的形体丰满的克里斯蒂娜?然（Christiane Wrann）说，轮子训练的小鼠和不爱活动的更有点像沙发土豆的小鼠之间，除了身体差异之外，该团队还证明存在神经系统的差异。跑动小鼠的海马中含有更多的FNDC5，海马是大脑中负责学习和记忆的区域。 Spiegelman says it was surprising to find that the molecular process in neurons mirrors what happens in muscles as we exercise. “What was weird is the same pathway is induced in the brain,” he says, “and as you know, with exercise, the brain does not move.” They saw the same effect as in exercise: increased BDNF levels in the hippocampus. This suggests that irisin could be capable of passing the blood-brain barrier, or that it regulates some other (unknown) molecule that crosses into the brain, Spiegelman says... （9）Hempstead calls the findings “very exciting,” and believes this research finally begins to explain how exercise relates to BDNF and other so-called neurotrophins that keep the brain healthy. “I think it answers the question that most of us have posed in our own heads for many years.” * * * * 尽管我们的肌肉输送铁离子，我们的细胞输送其他的一些物质：这些分子有助于保持一个健康的大脑。但是，科学家们一直在为解释众所周知的运动有益于心智的问题而努力，运动具有从拮抗抑郁和衰老到与阿尔茨海默氏症及帕金森氏病作斗争的好处。现在，一个研究团队可能终于找到了运动和健康大脑之间的一种分子联系。 (2)Much exercise research focuses on the parts of our body that do the heavy lifting.
