New research, conducted by researchers at the Queensland Brain Institute at the University of Queensland Australia, has suggested that 35 days of exercise may be enough to bring about significant improvements to cognitive performance.
For their study, the team looked at a sample of mice between 10 weeks and 24 months old, assessing their spatial navigation and memory abilities using an active place avoidance task (APA). ).
In APA, rodents are placed on a rotating platform, where they are expected to use spatial cues to navigate around.
As expected, the older rodents 18 and 24 months old performed significantly worse than their younger counterparts during the 5-day test.
