I didn't know that voluntary exercise stimulates neurogenesis. Makes me wonder what else stimulates it or to what degree of voluntary stress induces it. Thanks

@PinkPunkyKat The cells of the barrier actively transport metabolic products (like glucose) across the mambrane using special transport proteins etched on its surface.
