A decline in cognitive function, including a problem with the creation and retention of new memories, is often linked to advanced age. Ageing has a particularly negative impact on the hippocampus, which is essential for memory and learning, especially when it comes to spatial learning. A decline in the quantity of neural stem and precursor cells, a reduction in the production of adult-born neurons (neurogenesis), and deficiencies in neural circuitry are only a few of the adverse effects of ageing on the brain that can ultimately lead to reduced cognitive performance. It's important to note that exercise may enhance learning and memory and has been demonstrated to help several of these deficiencies. In this context, Growth Hormone (GH) is a crucial protein hormone that lowers with ageing and increases following physical exercise.
