DOI: 10.1002/brb3.1107
Abstract: Abstract Introduction Several studies have supported the use of enriched environments to prevent the manifestation of ASD‐like phenotypes in laboratory rodents. While the translational value of such experiments is unknown, the findings have been relatively… read more here.

Environmental enrichment decreases anxiety‐like behavior in zebrafish larvae
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Developmental Psychobiology"
DOI: 10.1002/dev.22255
Abstract: Abstract The development of anxiety disorders is often linked to individuals’ negative experience. In many animals, development of anxiety‐like behavior is modeled by manipulating individuals’ exposure to environmental enrichment. We investigated whether environmental enrichment during… read more here.

Concurrent environmental enrichment and chronic restraint stress: Effects on innate anxiety and depressive‐like behavior in male adolescent mice
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience"
DOI: 10.1002/jdn.10061
Abstract: Adolescence is a period that exhibits both vulnerability and adaptation to environmental stimulus. This study explored the co‐existence effect of environmental enrichment (EE) and restraint stress (RS) on innate anxiety and depressive‐like behavior in adolescent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-55231-6_24
Abstract: Enrichment provides an environment that fosters increased physical activity and sensory stimulation as compared to standard housing. Promoting and sustaining stimulation increases neuronal activity and, consequently, brain oxygen demand. The mammalian brain modulates its microvascular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10641-020-00986-5
Abstract: Based on previous evidence that environmental enrichment is associated with telencephalic cellular proliferation and that stable visuotopic tectal circuits are essential for discrimination of placement and identity of stationary or moving objects in the visual… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.applanim.2020.105194
Abstract: Abstract Sows are highly motivated to build a nest prior to farrowing, but, given the barren environment of farrowing crates, this behaviour is limited and improperly expressed. We aimed to assess the effects of a… read more here.
