Abstract

This chapter will review the current state of knowledge on the effects of physical and mental (cognitive) training on hippocampal structure and function. We will primarily focus on normal aging and patient populations, though some relevant examples with young adults will also be described. Where possible, we will briefly review relevant research with animal models, in order to discuss potential mechanisms for beneficial effects of physical activity and cognitive training on hippocampal health.
