Topic: Behavioral Evidence and Neural Mechanism of Exercise Intervention for Depression

Abstract: Depression affects at least 322 million people in the world, and may rank first in the overall global burden of diseases by 2030. However, there is still limited understanding on the pathogenic factors and the treatment of depression. The present speech will introduce the behavioral evidence and neural mechanism of exercise intervention in depression from our animal experiments. We reproduced depressive behavior in animals based on the potential influencing factors of depression such as stress, tryptophan metabolism, circadian rhythm and neuropeptides. We also explored the regulatory effect of exercise on depressive behavior from the aspects of "exercise intervention strategy", "comparison with the antidepressant" and "combination with drug intervention". On this basis, we found a variety of neural mechanisms that mediate the antidepressant effect of exercise, including HPA axis, neuroinflammation, metabolism, neural plasticity and neuropeptides. Collectively, our results delineate that exercise is a promising treatment for depression from the perspective of behavioral evidence and neural mechanism.
