Abstract
In this chapter, we present a review of the literature on the effects of physical activity on cognition, brain function, and brain structure across different populations. We discuss the results of crosssectional, longitudinal, and randomized controlled trials in improving cognition and brain processes in schoolage children, young adults, older adults with and without dementia, and other psychiatric and neurological populations. We end by discussing directions for future research in this very exciting field, emphasizing the need for multimodal creative interventions that can produce sustainable benefits, and the importance of understanding the complex interrelationships between the molecular and cellular systems underlying the benefits of physical activity on cognition.
