BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Endurance exercise can improve memory function in persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), but the effects on hippocampal functioning are currently unknown. We investigated the effects of a running intervention on memory and hippocampal functional connectivity in pwMS.
METHODS/RESULTS: Memory and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data were collected in a running intervention ( = 15) and waitlist group ( = 14). Visuospatial memory improvement was correlated to increased connectivity between the hippocampus and the default-mode network (DMN) in the intervention group only.
As a result of endurance exercise, improvements in visuospatial memory may be mediated by a stronger functional embedding of the hippocampus in the DMN.
背景/目的:耐力运动可以改善多发性硬化症患者(pwMS)的记忆功能,但目前尚不清楚其对海马功能的影响。我们研究了跑步干预对 pwMS 记忆和海马功能连接的影响。
方法/结果:在跑步干预组(n=15)和候补组(n=14)中收集了记忆和静息状态功能磁共振成像(fMRI)数据。只有在干预组中,视空间记忆的改善与海马体与默认模式网络(DMN)之间的连接增加相关。
由于耐力运动,视空间记忆的改善可能是通过海马体在 DMN 中的功能嵌入更强来介导的。
