Figure 3. Acute exercise prompts changes in neural networks observed during cognitive task.

Figure 3

Exercise reduced cerebral and cerebellar activity for all groups. (A) Controls activated areas in agreement with normal working memory function in the frontal and parietal lobes. (B) STOPP subjects activated normal working memory regions as well as compensatory right cerebellar recruitment. (C) The largest decrement in activity was in the START group that had no net change in regional blood flow to the cerebrum or cerebellum. Whole-brain maps are displayed at P<0.001 and were cluster corrected for multiple comparisons at P<0.05 using AlphaSim.
