Environmental Enrichment Protects Against Functional Deficits Caused by Traumatic Brain Injury
Environmental enrichment (EE) increases cortical weight, neuronal density, dendritic branching, and angiogenesis, all of which may be critical for functional recovery following insult. Our study was designed to determine possible benefits of pre-exposure to EE in preventing functional deficits follo...
