One-week exercise training induces white matter microstructural and blood flow changes: a multi-modal MRI study - data

<p>To investigate the short-term effects of aerobic exercise on white matter microstructure and cerebrovascular function, 15 healthy males underwent a one-week exercise intervention, with baseline MRI scanning and a follow-up scan one week later, with blood sampling for BDNF. </p><p>This database contains:<br></p><p>(1) the analysis code used to create the cerebral blood flow (CBF) and  cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) maps (BASH and PYTHON code).  </p><p>(2) the shape models (.mat MATLAB files) for the tract reconstructions used. </p><p>(3) Baseline and follow-up whole brain CBF maps for each participant (skull-stripped) n =30</p><p>(4) Baseline and follow-up whole brain CVR maps for each participant (skull-stripped) n =20 </p><p>(5) The processed diffusion-weighted MRI data at baseline and follow-up) n =30 <br></p><p>Research results based upon these data are published at https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-01630-7<br></p><p><br></p>
