Environmental enrichment in a neurosurgical environment: the importance of licensee and technician communication (1999)

Higgins, J., Eagle, D.

Abstract

Unfortunately, few neuroscientists use environmental enrichment for their animals and some seem to be reluctant to change. This may stem from the view that enrichment can introduce an additional variable that will affect experimental results. A study is planned to investigate whether environmental enrichment reduces behavioural (motor) deficits and enhances integration of the graft into the host brain.
