Enriched environment exposure accelerates rodent driving skills
Behavioural Brain Research, 2020Although rarely used, long-term behavioral training protocols provide opportunities to shape complex skills in rodent laboratory investigations that incorporate cognitive, motor, visuospatial and temporal functions to achieve desired goals. In the current study, following preliminary research establishing that rats could be taught to drive a rodent ...

Enrich the environment to empower the brain
Trends in Neurosciences, 2009Environmental enrichment (EE) has long been exploited to investigate the influence of the environment on brain structure and function. Robust morphological and functional effects elicited by EE at the neuronal level have been reported to be accompanied by improvements in cognitive performance.

Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Animal-Computer Interaction, 2017
This paper provides a brief introduction on the welfare of pigs in the European Union (with special emphasis on their specific exploratory need). After describing the requirements of legislation and the main welfare challenges for the swine specie, we will explore the case of Italian heavy pigs intended for dry-cured Parma ham production, and describe ...

Performing Enriched Environment Studies to Improve Functional Recovery
2023Physical therapy and social interactions between the stroke patient and healthcare professionals or relatives facilitate the process of recovery and promote improvement of lost neurological function after stroke. These observations can be mimicked in an experimental setting by multimodal stimulation provided in the concept of enriched environment.

Enriched environment and acceleration of visual system development
Neuropharmacology, 2004Rearing mice from birth in an enriched environment leads to a conspicuous acceleration of visual system development appreciable at behavioral, electrophysiological and molecular level. Little is known about the possible mechanisms of action through which enriched environment affects visual system development.

Rethinking the Design of Enriched Environments
2006Most advances in pervasive computing focus strongly on technological issues (e.g connectivity, portability, etc.); as technology becomes more complex and pervasive, design achieves a greater relevance Inadequate design leads to unnatural interaction that may overload users, hampering the old aspiration of creating transparent artifacts Transparency is ...

Environment enrichment in livestock
Enrichment refers to ‘improvement’ or ‘complexity’ in the living environment to make habitat more suitable for higher production. It is defined as modification in management or in the surroundings of the animal that improves the biological functioning as well as welfare of the animal, which is achieved by the minimum management standards.openaire +1 more source
The Ornamental Urge (Environment Enrichment)
1972In discussing the origins of art, philosophers, psychologists, and art historians have often cited a need for ornamentation; it seemed to offer an especially convincing explanation when biological interpretations of life gained increasing popularity during the nineteenth century.
