Physical exercise is increasingly recognized as an important compo-nent in the neuroscience related field. What is the targeting of exercise and what accounts for the exercise’s benefits observed in neurosci-ence? Several types of exercise have been studied in various fields across physiological, psychological, and biochemical experiments of neuroscience. However, more clarity is needed to unveil optimal exer-cise conditions such as frequency, intensity, type, and time. In this re-view, we briefly highlight the positive effects of exercise on promoting brain function. Key areas relate to exercise neuroscience are as follow: structural level with synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis, functional level with behavioral development, and molecular level with possible mechanisms that involved in exercise-induced brain plasticity. Overall, we provide the importance of understanding the exercise neuroscience and highlight suggestions for future health research.
