Cardiovascular exercise and stimulating experiences in a complex environment have positive benefits on multiple measures of neuroplasticity within the rodent brain. This article will discuss the implementation of these interventions as a "superintervention" which combines wheel running and environmental complexity and will address the limitations of these interventions.
