Conclusions and further directions

3 important questions on Conclusions and further directions

What is the main conclusion of this study?

environmental enrichment — as a model of enhanced cognitive, sensory and motor stimulation — has been shown to induce experience-dependent plasticity at structural and functional levels in many animal models of the healthy and dysfunctional brain.

Which questions do the authors raise in their discussion?

  • How does EE in the early stages of animal braind development related to early human brain development?
  • Are there critical periods in which EE can have a greater impact on brain development?
  • does EE exert a different effect on the developing brain and the mature brain?
  • How do the components of EE contribute to the effects of EE? ADDITIVE
  • How do genetics and gender influence environmental interaction?

Which concerns are raised regarding EE effect on animals vs EE effects of humans?

  • how can EE conditions in rodents be translated to the human experience
  • standard housing conditions are rather deprivating and therefore may excaberate EE effects

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
