Environmental Enrichment Ameliorates Psychological Dependence Symptoms and Voluntary Morphine Consumption in Morphine Withdrawn Rats Under Methadone Maintenance Treatment

Basic and Clinical Neuroscience, 2021
Introduction: Previous studies have shown that physical and psychological dependence and the vulnerability to relapse are still present during MMT. Thus, this study examined whether Enriched Environment (EE) would attenuate anxiety, depressive, and ...

Enriched Environment Exposure Enhances Social Interactions and Oxytocin Responsiveness in Male Long-Evans Rats

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
Both social and physical stimuli contribute to the complexity of an animal’s environment, influencing biobehavioral responses to subsequent challenges. In the current study, male Long-Evans rats were randomly assigned to an isolate (ISO), social control (

Environmental enrichment enhances patterning and remodeling of synaptic nanoarchitecture as revealed by STED nanoscopy

eLife, 2022
Synaptic plasticity underlies long-lasting structural and functional changes to brain circuitry and its experience-dependent remodeling can be fundamentally enhanced by environmental enrichment.

The effects of combined training and activity in an enriched environment on the brain BDNF and VEGF protein levels in the pre-pubertal male rats [PDF]

مجله پزشکی دانشگاه علوم پزشکی تبریز, 2022
Background. Neurotrophic factors play an important role in the brain plasticity. The brain developmental processes remarkably occur in the pre-pubertal period, and training interventions during this sensitive period may lead to specific effects.

Only watching others making their experiences is insufficient to enhance adult neurogenesis and water maze performance in mice [PDF]

, 2015
In the context of television consumption and its opportunity costs the question arises how far experiencing mere representations of the outer world would have the same neural and cognitive consequences than actively interacting with that environment ...

Effects and mechanisms of different exogenous organic matters on selenium and cadmium uptake by rice in natural selenium-cadmium-rich soil

Heliyon
Many natural selenium (Se)-rich rice plants are being polluted by cadmium (Cd). In this study, for reducing Cd concentrations in rice grains while maintaining Se concentrations, the effects of different exogenous organic matters (OMs), such as humic acid
