Environmental enrichment and the brain

Progress in brain research, 2002
An intriguing capacity of the adult nervous system for structural and functional modification in response to external stimuli (plasticity) has been the focus of research efforts for decades. This review shows history of ideas about brain changes in relation to experiential factors and surveys experimental studies of the impact of enriched environment ...

Juvenile Psittacine Environmental Enrichment

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2015
Environmental enrichment is of great import to the emotional, intellectual, and physical development of the juvenile psittacine and their success in the human home environment. Five major types of enrichment include social, occupational, physical, sensory, and nutritional. Occupational enrichment includes exercise and psychological enrichment. Physical

The Environmental Enrichment Committee

Alternatives to Laboratory Animals, 2004
Both the US Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and the Canadian Council on Animal Care Guide to the Care and Use of Experimental Animals specify that suitable enrichment and social interaction with con-specifics should be considered when planning adequate housing for all laboratory animal species.

Environmental enrichment

2013
This chapter focuses on environmental enrichment. It begins by discussing the evolution of enrichment as a concept. It explains that behavioural enrichment aims to successfully stimulate desirable behaviours, increase activity, and provide an easy method for monitoring the health of zoo animals.

Environmental enrichment and brain chromatin

Behavioral and Neural Biology, 1979
Twenty-eight-day-old Fischer rats were assigned to enriched, isolated, or standard environmental rearing for 60 days. Chromatin from cortex, cerebellum, and rest of brain was assayed for capacity to support in vitro RNA synthesis. No significant differences were observed across rearing groups.

Environmental enrichment and neurodegenerative diseases

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2005
Recent reports on experimental models of neurodegeneration in mice have strengthened the notion that environmental enrichment (EE) is beneficial, in terms of delayed onset and progression, to a variety of neurodegenerative diseases. These studies also revealed interesting mechanistic understandings as to how EE might function.
