Talk:Neurobiological effects of physical exercise/Archive 1

Page feedback
Hi, page looks great but one thing i have noticed helps to clean up the page is if you organize your references by using, then if you want to cite the same article again, instead of retyping the source you can just type . This way your reference section will not have several repeats of the same resource.

Other than that it looks great Psyc3330w12gp04BV (talk) 15:40, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Merging the Runner's high article
Since every reference in the Runner's high article fails WP:MEDRS and the page contains mostly medical statements, this section is more of an FYI than a discussion about merging the article. I.e., I could justifiably (per that policy) reduce the whole article to a stub right now, but that's not a preferable solution IMO.

So, once I've completed the short-term effects subsection "Neurobiological effects of physical exercise", I plan to go through with this merger; I expect to include a 1 paragraph section on the phenomenon under "Short-term effects", but I intend to keep the evidence related to its neuropharmacology contained in the section on neuro-transmitters/modulators/peptides (the previous link).

Mouse model of a runner's high
I've removed the following text from the article because this paper is a primary source and an animal study; biomedical statements need to be cited by references that satisfy the WP:MEDRS guideline. The other sources in the article on a runner's high/rower's high do not define the high as a state of anxiolysis, sedation, or pain relief, so this text was out of place in the anandamide section.

Feedback
I think I'm going to return to working on this article next week. I figured I'd seek your feedback on any general/specific topics that you think are worth adding/covering or if there's any existing content (in the Long-term effects or Short-term effects sections) that you think needs to be rewritten or expanded.

I still think both of those level 2 headers don't reflect their subsections, but I'm not sure how I'm going to reorganize that part of the article yet; MOS:MED isn't particularly helpful in unique cases like this article. So in the event you have any suggestions about the layout, I'd be happy to hear them.  Seppi  333  (Insert 2¢) 14:15, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I think I've more or less decided on a layout now.  Seppi  333  (Insert 2¢) 10:08, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I completely restructured these sections; I think the layout and topical coverage within these sections makes sense now. I'll probably resume working on this article soon since the rather awkward layout was offputting for me.  Seppi  333  (Insert 2¢) 20:55, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Neurobiological effects of physical exercise
during the GA review, you mentioned that some of the content on clinical effects and the mechanisms that mediate exercise-induced effects on the brain should be covered separately. I've reorganized the article so that the effects on disorders are covered under a different section on that topic (linked in the header). The long-term effects section now only covers neurotrophic factor signaling mechanisms that affect brain structure/function as well as persistent exercise-induced effects on cognition and brain structure/function. Is this what you had in mind?  Seppi  333  (Insert 2¢) 17:10, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Potential source
Stumbled across this 2009 review which doesn't appear to be used here. There may be better sources in the article now but I figured I'd link it here in case there is anything worthwhile in it. http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/full/10.1146/annurev.psych.60.110707.163551 Sizeofint (talk) 17:20, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
 * On second glance it is more about the physiological effects of mental health so it may not be applicable here. Sizeofint (talk) 18:12, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
 * This page covers pretty much everything from the micro-scale molecular neurobiology of exercise and its impact on the brain and cognition to macro-scale exercise-induced neuroplasticity and the physiological and/or psychological effects of that neuroplasticity (e.g., the glutamate section covers research on the effect of exercise on cardiovascular disease from long-term changes in the rostral ventrolateral medulla; the short-term effects section covers the impact of exercise on the body's short-term response to psychological stress through long-term exercise-induced changes to the HPA axis). In a nutshell, this page isn't strictly confined to covering effects on the brain; it also covers effects on the body that either cause or are effects of exercise-induced effects on the brain. Anyway, I haven't read that review, but if there's something you think is worth including, feel free to quote an excerpt here and I'll look into adding it.

Abbreviations
Why are there dotted lines under all the abbreviations in the article? Natureium (talk) 04:30, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Place your mouse cursor over any of the abbreviated words which have a dotted line underneath. You'll see the expanded term in a tooltip.  Seppi  333  (Insert 2¢) 04:35, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
