I'm all for barbell squats and deadlifts, but I have to point out that there's a difference between saying "leg exercise is critical to brain and nervous system health" and "mice restricted from using their hind legs exhibit lower numbers of neural stem cells".

I do wonder if these conclusions are ill-founded, though. Otherwise wouldn’t people who lose a limb or use thereof suffer from extreme neurodegeneration?
