Environmental enrichment and neurotransmitter receptors [PDF]
Behavioral and Neural Biology, 1982 The extent of high affinity, specific binding of several pharmacological agents to brain membrane fractions derived from rats reared in an environmentally enriched or impoverished environment has been assayed. The binding of all labeled agents studied was not significantly altered in cerebellar, subcortical, or cortical membranes by the rearing ...

Environmental Enrichment for Laboratory Rodents [PDF]
ILAR Journal, 2005 Modernization of housing and husbandry techniques for rodents has minimized confounding variables. The result has been vastly improved health maintenance and reproducibility of research findings, advances that have decreased the numbers of animals needed to attain statistically significant results.

Reversal of cocaine addiction by environmental enrichment [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008 Environmental conditions can dramatically influence the behavioral and neurochemical effects of drugs of abuse. For example, stress increases the reinforcing effects of drugs and plays an important role in determining the vulnerability to develop drug addiction.
