There is suggestive evidence that exercise may have a greater effect on visuo-spatial memory, compared to other memory types. However, we have a limited understanding as to the mechanisms through which exercise may subserve visuo-spatial memory. Thus, the purpose of this review is to evaluate the extent to which exercise may influence visuo-spatial memory, whether exercise can attenuate drug- and diseased-induced declines in memory, and determine the underlying mechanisms of these relationships. We employed a systematic review approach. We identified studies using electronic databases, including PubMed, PsychInfo, Sports Discus and Google Scholar. In total, we identified 32 articles. Among these, 2 were among humans and 30 were conducted in animal models. There was strong evidence sup- porting the facilitative role of chronic exercise in visuo-spatial memory improvements, as well as attenuation of drug- and diseased-induced memory decline. There are various mechanisms through which chronic exercise may influence visuo-spatial memory, including increased neuro-genesis, angiogenesis, improved neural efficiency, CB receptor signaling, activation of H₂ receptors, and increased number of synaptic structures (eg, AMPA and NMDA receptors). Exercise may help to enhance visuo-spatial memory.
有迹象表明，与其他记忆类型相比，运动对视觉空间记忆可能有更大的影响。然而，我们对运动影响视觉空间记忆的机制知之甚少。因此，本综述的目的是评估运动对视觉空间记忆的影响程度，运动是否可以减轻药物和疾病引起的记忆衰退，并确定这些关系的潜在机制。
我们采用了系统综述的方法。我们利用电子数据库（包括 PubMed、PsychInfo、Sports Discus 和 Google Scholar）识别了研究。总共确定了 32 篇文章。其中 2 篇是在人类中进行的，30 篇是在动物模型中进行的。有强有力的证据支持慢性运动对视觉空间记忆改善的促进作用，以及对药物和疾病引起的记忆衰退的缓解作用。慢性运动可能通过多种机制影响视觉空间记忆，包括增加神经发生、血管生成、提高神经效率、CB 受体信号、H₂受体激活以及增加突触结构数量（如 AMPA 和 NMDA 受体）。运动可能有助于增强视觉空间记忆。
