In this study, 21-month-old natural aging rats were used to study brain aging. The natural aging rats underwent different forms of exercise training (aerobic exercise or strength training or comprehensive exercise with aerobic exercise and strength training) for 12 consecutive weeks. The cognitive function of natural aging rats was determined by Morris Water Maze. Notch signaling, autophagy-related proteins and hippocampal neurogenesis were examined by immunofluorescence, qRT-PCR and Western blot. Results showed that natural aging rats exhibited cognitive decline, accumulation of AD pathological proteins (APP and Aβ), and decreased neurogenesis (decreased DCX, Ki67 and GFAP), compared with the young control rats. Moreover, a significant decline in Notch signaling and autophagy was found in the hippocampus of natural aging rats. However, different forms of exercise upregulated Notch signaling and its downstream target genes, as well as autophagy-related proteins, including LC3, Beclin1, and p62.

Biokinetic and epidemiologic studies have shown that prolonged exposure to high-intensity WBV increases health risks, primarily to the lumbar spine and the nervous system connected to it. There is currently insufficient evidence to demonstrate a quantitative relationship between vibration exposure and risk of health effects. The positive effects of WBV on increasing muscle strength and improving balance and flexibility are well known, but its effects on cognitive function are more complex, with mixed findings, largely related to vibration conditions, including frequency, amplitude, and duration. Studies have shown that short-term low-frequency WBV may have a positive impact on cognitive function, demonstrates potential rehabilitation benefits in enhancing learning and memory, possibly by promoting neuromuscular coordination and enhancing neural plasticity. However, long term exposure to vibration may lead to chronic stress in nerve tissue, affecting nerve conduction efficiency and potentially interfering with neuroprotective mechanisms, thereby having a negative impact on cognitive ability, even causes symptoms such as cognitive decline, mental fatigue, decreased attention, and drowsiness. This literature review aimed to explore the effects of WBV on cognitive function and further to analyze the possible mechanisms. Based on the analysis of literatures, we came to the conclusion that the impact of WBV on cognitive function depends mainly on the frequency and duration of vibration, short-term low-frequency WBV may have a positive impact on cognitive function, while long term exposure to WBV may lead to cognitive decline, and the mechanisms may be involved in neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, synaptic plasticity, and neurotransmitter changes.

While these methods restore blood flow, they fall short in helping patients regain lost function. With that, recent years have seen a rise in novel methods, one of which is the use of electromagnetic fields (EMFs). Due to their ability to impact the charges in their vicinity, thereby altering the immune response and cell signaling, EMFs became suitable candidates for stroke rehabilitation. Based on their characteristics, therapeutic EMFs can be categorized into transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), pulsed (PEMFs) and low frequency (LF-EMFs) electromagnetic fields, among others. In addition to treatment, EMFs are being explored for stroke monitoring, utilizing external EMFs for imaging or recording innate EMFs linked to neural activity. Drawing from research on the effects of EMFs, this review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the physical principles and molecular mechanisms underlying the action of EMFs, along with a discussion of their application in preclinical studies and clinical trials.
