Proactive Brain Health: How Exercise Increases Brain Adaptability

Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to change and adapt with experience. Join us and Giselle Petzinger, MD to learn how exercise drives neuroplasticity in the brain. We will discuss:

  • The evidence of exercise effects on motor and cognitive outcomes in Parkinson’s disease
  • The role of aerobic versus skill-based exercise
  • Studies that show evidence of exercise-induced neuroplasticity in the motor and cognitive circuitry

About the Speaker: 

Giselle Petzinger, MD, is an Associate Professor of Neurology (Clinical Scholar) at the Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA.
