The effect of feeding enrichment toys on the behaviour of kennelled dogs (Canis familiaris) (2008, background): “…environmental enrichment induces structural changes in the brain that result in improved cognitive abilities (e.g. Rozenzweig and Bennet, 1996; van Praag et al., 2000; Wolfer et al., 2004) and, secondly, it allows an animal to satisfy more ethological needs (e.g. Markowitz, 1982; Jensen and…”
Hastiness, brain size and predation regime affect the performance of wild guppies in a spatial memory task (2008, background): “Intraspecific variation in neural morphology can occur at many levels, including cell density, amount of dendritic branching, synaptic density and ratio of white to grey matter (e.g. van Praag et al. 2000 ).”
Ageing, Cognitive Abilities and Retirement (2012, unknown): “Recent research in neuroscience (see van Praag et al., 2000 for a review) has questioned the idea that age-related cognitive decline is inevitable and fixed.”
Refinement of rodent research through environmental enrichment and systematic randomization (2007, methodology): “Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s), aging, and recovery from stroke and other forms of brain damage (4).”
Structural Plasticity and Hippocampal Function (2010, background): “There is currently no consensus on the specific environmental feature that contributes to the beneficial consequences of enrichment on hippocampal structure (van Praag et al. 2000).”
Evolutionary Biology of Animal Cognition (2004, background): “Several studies documented either increased neurogenesis or increased survival of new neurons in subjects under either exercise regimes or intense learning activities (Gould et al. 1999, van Praag et al. 2000).”
New treatments in neurorehabiliation founded on basic research (2002, background): “Most of the basic animal research has focused on the ways in which environmental enrichment can enhance the development of the immature nervous syste”
