This was a study on mice using a running wheel and how their brains changed, which they then compared to human brain tissue from people who had Alzheimer.
I'm sure running helps, but the headline is a bit sensationalized.
Well, they only tested running, they can't factually generalize to all cardio. It's kind of hard getting mice to stay on a bike.
No, the headline was accurate, but unfortunately the murine target audience can't read.
