The Effect of Environmental Enrichment on Laboratory Rare Minnows (Gobiocypris rarus): Growth, Physiology, and Behavior

Animals, 2022
Environmental enrichment is a method to increase environmental heterogeneity, which may reduce stress and improve animal welfare. Previous studies have shown that environmental enrichment can increase the growth rate, decrease aggressive and anxiety-like

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.

Plant responses to long-term "in situ" CO₂ enrichment and soil warming at treeline in the Swiss Alps [PDF]

, 2010
In situ studies lasting several years are essential for predicting how plant growth and ecosystem function will change under rising levels of atmospheric CO₂ and the associated changes in climate. High-latitude and high-elevation ecosystems are predicted

Effect of environmental enrichment on weaned piglets: physiological responses

Veterinární Medicína, 2019
The aim of this research consisted in assessing the effect of various kinds of environmental enrichment (EE) on the physiological responses of weaned piglets. The mean age of the 96 piglets that participated was 27 days.

The importance of burrowing, climbing and standing upright for laboratory rats [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2016
Standard laboratory cages prevent rats (Rattus norvegicus) from performing many behaviours that they perform in the wild, but little is known about how this may affect their welfare.

Existence of anticorrelations for local field potentials recorded from mice reared in standard condition and environmental enrichment

, 2015
In the present paper, we analyze local field potentials (LFPs) recorded from the secondary motor cortex (M2) and primary visual cortex (V1) of freely moving mice reared in environmental enrichment (EE) and standard condition (SC). We focus on the scaling
