I think this is something we all know, but this is the first study I've seen (not likely the first study that exists) that describes the benefits of exercise on clearing chemo brain, though it's in rats and not humans. There's really not much more to say than that, I just think it's good that people are starting to measure and address this issue, as chemo brain is a very serious impairment to many of the ladies I work with.
