Hippocampal Glutamatergic Hyperactivation Mediates High-Loading Intensity of Exercise-Induced Cognitive Deficits Via HPC-mPFC Circuit Dysfunction.
Article in CNS neuroscience & therapeutics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimsExcessive exercise impairs cognition and elevates late-life cognitive risk. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigates the neural mechanisms through which high-intensity endurance exercise induces cognitive deficits.
methodsMice underwent high-loading intensity exercise (HLIE) with a 7-day treadmill procedure (25 m/min, 90 min/day). A battery of behavioral tests was conducted to assess cognitive performance, including the Morris Water Maze, Novel Object Recognition, and Y Maze. fMRI and c-Fos activity mapping were employed to identify key brain regions affected by HLIE. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) was conducted to analyze transcriptional changes associated with disrupted neural activity. We used chemogenetic inhibition to identify the role of hippocampal glutamatergic neurons in HLIE-induced cognitive deficits.
resultsHLIE caused significant spatial and working memory deficits. The hippocampus (HPC) was the primary brain region affected, exhibiting reduced functional connectivity with the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and disrupted transcriptional profiles linked to neural activity. Further, hippocampal glutamatergic neurons were particularly activated by HLIE, and chemogenetic inhibition prevented cognitive function following HLIE exposure.
conclusionHLIE impairs cognition via hippocampal glutamatergic neuronal hyperactivation and downstream HPC-mPFC circuit dysfunction. Our findings identify neuronal calcium dysregulation as a targetable mechanism for preserving cognition in high-intensity exercise paradigms.
