Lockbox enrichment facilitates manipulative and cognitive activities for mice [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

Background Due to the lack of complexity and variety of stimuli, conventional housing conditions of laboratory mice do not allow these animals to fully express their behavioral repertoire, including manipulative and cognitive activities. Therefore, we designed mechanical puzzles, so-called lockboxes...
