Summary: | Research highlights ▶ This review focuses on activity dependent events that boost neuronal health. ▶ The following ways through which activity boosts neuronal health will be discussed: transcriptional control of pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic genes; enhanced antioxidant defences; regulation of mitochondrial and growth factor availability. ▶ We also discuss events where neuronal activity influences events specific to individual neurodegenerative diseases. |
