Multiscale Mechanisms of Exercise-Induced Neuroplasticity: From Molecular Pathways to Network Dynamics and Behavioral Adaptation.
Review in Brain sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Exercise as a non-pharmacological measure is important to increase the brain plasticity hence improving cognitive performance as well as mental health. This narrative review describes in depth the hierarchical multiscale processes of neuroplasticity to exercise, including the presence of neurotrophic factor regulation, cellular metabolic adaptations and neurotransmitter remodeling, up to the structure and functional reorganization of brain networks as seen through neuroimaging, and concluding with adaptive cognitive and behavioral outcomes. We further investigate the role of personal variations in genetic time and social environments in moderating the neuroplasticity of exercise. Furthermore, the review identifies the importance of combining multimodal visualization methods with computational models in generating accurate workout prescriptions and their potential of translation into clinical and educational practice. Lastly, the research problems and "grand challenges" are addressed, with a focus on the importance of exercise as a pleiotropic behavior-intervention and its general implications to the area of promoting brain health.
