With regular exercise, the body builds up its levels of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), and the brain’s nerve cells start to branch out, join together and communicate with each other in new ways. This is. the process that underlies learning: every change in the junctions between brain cells signifies a new fact or skill that’s been picked up and stowed away for future use. BDNF makes that process possible. Brains with more of it have a greater capacity for knowledge. On the other hand, says UCLA neuroscientist Fernando Gámez-Pinilla, a brain that’s low on BDNF shuts itself off to new information, What will happen if a person has a brain that’s low on BDNF
A. He will be able to learn many new skills. B. He will forget all the information stored in his brain. C. He will be able to learn things quickly. D. He will not pick up new information quickly.
