In our studies, treadmill exercise enhanced neurogenesis with increment of serotonin expression, which resulted in improvement of depressive symptoms (Baek et al., 2012). Treadmill exercise alleviated aging-induced memory impairment by enhancing neurogenesis (Kim et al., 2010). Kim et al. (2013) reported that exercise also accelerated maturation of neurons under the brain inflammatory conditions. These therapeutic efficacies of treadmill exercise can be ascribed to the enhancing effect of exercise on neurogenesis. Thus, the enhancing effect of exercise on neurogenesis may open new horizon for the treatment of many neuropsychiatric disorders.
