This study identifies astrocyte contraction as a mechanism by which exercise signals from muscles influence hippocampal plasticity through increased proliferation and neuronal network modulation.

This paper presents a spiking neural network model showing how mechanical tension affects memory recall speed, inter-regional synchrony, and memory association in neural networks.

The paper shows that mechanical tension in hippocampal neurons is essential for synaptic communication and firing in an in vitro network.

The paper shows that contracting muscle conditioned media accelerates hippocampal neuronal maturation and astrocyte proliferation, with astrocytes mediating the effects on neuronal activity.
