Physical activity and muscle–brain crosstalk

Physical activity and muscle–brain crosstalkPhysical activity and muscle–brain crosstalk, Published online: 05 March 2019; doi:10.1038/s41574-019-0174-xExercise has many beneficial effects on brain health, but how exercise is sensed by the brain has not been well understood.
