Exercise-cognition interaction: neuroscience perspectives

"Exercise-Cognition Interaction: Neuroscience Perspectives is the only book on the market that examines the neuroscientific correlation between exercise and cognitive functioning. The upsurge in research in recent years has confirmed that cognitive-psychology theory cannot account for the effects of exercise on cognition, and both acute and chronic exercise effect neurochemical and psychophysiological changes in the brain that in turn impact cognitive functioning. Exercise-Cognition Interaction provides an overview of the research into these effects, from the atheoretical research through current studies that emphasize neuroscientific theories and rationales. This book also offers a thorough examination of the effects of exercise interventions on cognitive functioning in special populations, including the elderly, children, and those suffering from a variety of diseases such as dementia, diabetes, and an array of neurological disorders. With contributions from leading researchers in the field, Exercise-Cognition Interaction will be the go-to resource for neuroscientists, psychologists, medical professionals, and other cognition researchers who need a thorough understanding of the role exercise plays in cognitive functioning. Key Features: provides a comprehensive account of how exercise affects brain functioning, which in turn affects cognition; covers both theory and empirical research; examines neurochemical and psychophysiological factors; discusses research on special populations; covers acute and chronic exercise"--Page 4 of cover.
