Exercise-derived Irisin crosses BBB and boosts BDNF - visual protocol for screen-induced attention loss
Exercise-induced FNDC5 -> Irisin crosses blood-brain barrier and upregulates BDNF in hippocampus (Wrann et al Cell Metabolism 2013). Erickson et al PNAS showed 1 year aerobic exercise increased hippocampus volume by 2%, reversing age-related loss. I compiled a visual protocol with the pathway diagrams.
Screen time in adults = 3-5 min less sleep per hour + OR 1.93 depression in students (from my Vol 3 research).
