Effect of enriched environment on vascular endothelial growth factor receptor expression in hippocampus of rats after unilateral local cerebral infarction
This opens up vistas of possibility for architecture and suggests that future homes and offices might be designed with an eye toward how they might provide an enriched environment for enhancing brain function.
Objective To explore the effect of early enriched environment intervention on expression of neurofilament protein (NFP) in brain and the neurobehavior of filial rats with brain injury.
