Researches prove that practice exercise can increase levels of brain derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) and other growth factors that stimulate neurogenesis, increasing the resistance of the brain to insult and improve learning and mental performance. I would like to ask about if practicing specific kind of sport regularly can effect on brain structure? I mean does the sports different requirements can impact on the brain according to the kind of sport or not?
