TL;DR Summary

A study by the University of Queensland reveals that exercise can reverse age-related changes in brain cells, particularly microglia, in mice.

This finding suggests potential benefits for human brain health and cognitive function, providing a basis for future research into therapeutic strategies to combat brain aging.
