Selecting and Testing Environmental Enrichment in Lemurs
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 Environmental enrichment has become a standard tool for improving the welfare of animals in zoos. Two critical steps in the manipulation of environmental enrichment are (1) selection of objects/procedures and (2) evaluation of their effects.

Environmental enrichment and the sensory brain: the role of enrichment in remediating brain injury
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2014 The brain’s life-long capacity for experience-dependent plasticity allows adaptation to new environments or to changes in the environment, and to changes in internal brain states such as occurs in brain damage.
