When muscles work out, they help neurons to grow
Briefly

The study shows that exercise promotes nerve growth significantly through myokines, with neurons growing four times farther when exposed to these muscle-generated signals.
Researchers discovered that neurons respond to both biochemical signals from muscles and the physical impacts of exercise, indicating physical effects are vital for nerve growth.
The findings illustrate a crucial crosstalk between muscles and nerves, potentially informing therapies for nerve injuries by stimulating muscles to aid nerve healing.
Exploring the communication between muscle and nerve could lead to innovative treatments for restoring mobility in patients with traumatic injuries or neurodegenerative diseases.
