2024, Behavioural Brain ResearchBeneficial effects of Spirulina platensis, voluntary exercise and environmental enrichment against adolescent stress induced deficits in cognitive functions, hippocampal BDNF and morphological remolding in adult female rats
2019, Hormones and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Because of potent neuroprotective properties of Spirulina platensis, the findings of this study suggest that the application of Spirulina platensis is useful for improvement of memory deficits induced by stress. The protective effects of the enriched environment and physical activity against the cognitive impairment induced by adolescent stress are in line of earlier reports indicating that early exposure of animals to environmental enrichment or physical activity can change neural structure and function leading to enduring improvements in learning and memory and improve memory deficits (Belz et al., 2003; Chapillon et al., 1999; Fox et al., 2006; Gobbo and O'Mara, 2005; Hamm et al., 1996; Larsen et al., 2010; Pacteau et al., 1989; Pena et al., 2009; Rhodes and Rubin, 1999; Schmidt and Duman, 2010; Simpson and Kelly, 2011; Wainwright et al., 1993; Will et al., 1977; Wolfer et al., 2004). Enriched environment and physical may negate the deficits produced by a chronic stress on hippocampal-dependent spatial learning and memory tasks by altering many properties of the hippocampus (Conrad et al., 2007).
Cognitive enhancing effects of voluntary exercise, caloric restriction and environmental enrichment: A role for adult hippocampal neurogenesis and pattern separation?
2015, Current Opinion in Behavioral SciencesCitation Excerpt :Finally, we focus here on the enhancing effects of environmental enrichment on cognition (see [51]). It has been shown that exposure to a cognitively challenging and stimulating environment enhances subsequent learning and memory performance (e.g., [19,52,53]), and that training in explicit learning tasks can also act as a cognitive enhancer as measured by performance on subsequent tests (e.g., [54,55]). Evidence suggests that upregulated hippocampal neurogenesis may underlie these cognitive enhancing effects of environmental enrichment and learning ([4,55,56•]).
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders: Effects and Mechanisms of Ethanol on the Developing Brain
2015, Environmental Factors in Neurodevelopmental and Neurodegenerative DisordersPostnatal exposure to predator odor (TMT) enhances spatial learning in mice adulthood
2012, Behavioural Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Contrary to deleterious effects of stress, postnatal exposure to TMT could be interpreted as an enriched environment known to improve cognitive performances [25]. These effects have been shown in aged animals [44] as well as in animals with brain damages [15,43] and in early stages of life [39]. Furthermore, enriched environments contribute to prevent stress-induced learning and memory impairments [8].
Reversed light-dark cycle and cage enrichment effects on ethanol-induced deficits in motor coordination assessed in inbred mouse strains with a compact battery of refined tests
2011, Behavioural Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :For example, enrichment alters protein expression [39–41], and many proteins promote a more complex brain by signaling the development of more dendritic branches, the formation of more synapses, and induction of neurogenesis [39,42–45]. Enrichment improves motor coordination and complex learning [46–48] and decreases the effects of some drugs [49,50]. High levels of enrichment may help to ameliorate effects of prenatal or neonatal alcohol exposure [51], but there is little information on the consequences of enrichment for acute effects of ethanol given to mature animals.
