Re: if you needed even more motivation to work out...
What isnt protrayed is the fact that mice in excersise conditions are generally given a much more enriched (pro learning) environment anyway, meaning that excersise alone wasnt an independent factor.
Also learning to excersise alone is brain training for a mouse more than for a human.

How much is "more than" worth? If one's brain gets only a 5% boost while a mouse's gets a 25% boost, that 5% might still be well worth going for. Especially since an extra 5% of an advanced brain is probably worth a lot more than quite a bit more of an improvement of a simpler brain.

Re: if you needed even more motivation to work out...
well.. there's also the concern that they're frickin' lab rats.
I know personally I'm better off mentally if I get some decent exercise during the week. Does my brain get "stronger"? I dunno. I do know I get more done at work, am less lethargic, and seem to be in a better state of mind overall. The same is also true when I'm more social and less reclusive. I'm sure there's some peak point where gym rats are hurting themselves mentally because all they focus on is working out and they don't get enough "though exercise". Or they aren't socializing enough. Life's about balance. I think we all understand that.
