Unlike enriched environments for rodents, human-built often hinder neuroplasticity through sedentary lifestyles, to which exercise can merely overcome its adverse effects. This paper introduces "environmental affordance physical activity" quantify the potential of spatial layout designs stimulate activity and sustain neuroplasticity, mainly hippocampal neurogenesis.
