Mice were divided into 2 cohorts: 1) housed with a running wheel; 2) housed without a wheel. The purpose of this study was to quantitate exercise-induced neurogenesis. For the first 10 days, all mice received daily injections of BrdU to label dividing cells. After 43 days, neurogenesis was assessed immunohistochemically based on the number of BrdU cells co-expressing a neuronal cell marker in the hippocampus dentate gyrus. Daily locomotor activity and its effect on body weight were also recorded.

Procedures conducted:
• running wheel monitoring  Locomotor activity. Exercise wheel group vs. control group. Distance per day.
• body weight  Exercise wheel group vs. control group.
• microscopy  Examination of hippocampus dentate gyrus. Exercise wheel group vs. control group.
