Researchers say exercise does not harm memory, contrary to one study from 2014.

Published in the Journal of Neuroscience, the study reveals that physical activity does fuel the development of new neurons - or nerve cells - in a brain region crucial to memory, but that these newly formed neurons do not hinder memory recall.

It is generally accepted that exercise is beneficial for cognitive function, due to the abundance of studies that have demonstrated as such.
