Caption

The 'A' image shows the cerebral blood flow in a group of older adults at risk to develop Alzheimer's disease after one year of aerobic exercise training. The yellow and white represents increased flow into the hippocampus, the anterior cingulate cortex, and other frontal regions. The 'B' image shows no change or a reduction in blood flow in a group of at-risk older adults who did one year of stretching only.
