Low-intensity exercise during adolescence may prevent schizophrenia ANI | Updated: Dec 16, 2020 22:26 IST
Tsukuba [Japan], December 16 (ANI): Researchers from Japan have found that exercise during a specific postnatal period may prevent the development of behaviors associated with schizophrenia.
In a study published this month in Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, researchers from the University of Tsukuba have revealed that low-intensity exercise during adolescence, which is a critical developmental period, significantly reduced abnormal behaviors in a mouse model of schizophrenia.
An enriched environment during development has been found to have a number of positive effects on brain function, including the prevention of neurodevelopmental disorders.

Exercise During Adolescence may Prevent Schizophrenia by Colleen Fleiss on December 16, 2020 at 10:05 PM
During adolescence, low intensity exercise was found to have protective effects in a mouse model of schizophrenia, said University of Tsukuba researchers.
Although schizophrenia is increasingly understood as a neurodevelopmental disorder, environmental factors are known to play an important role in the disease onset and progression.
