| The Impact of Prior Experience With Cross-Modal Stimulation on Activation of Bipolar and Multipolar Neurons in the Intermediate Layer of Rat Superior Colliculus |
2013 |
968 |
Multisensory integration (MI) is the process in which information from multiple sensory modalities converges on single neurons. When a rat orients toward a cross-modal, light and sound, stimulus, neurons in the superior colliculus (SC) integrate the ... |
| Enviornmental Enrichment Affects the Behavior of Adolescent Rats in a Social Preference Task |
2015 |
1120 |
While the behavioral development of male and female rats differs, adolescents of both sexes have an interest in novelty. Environmental enrichment (EE) can add to that interest by providing opportunity for interaction with objects and other rats, and ... |
| Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Legal Diganosis of Antisocial Personality Disorder |
2015 |
1404 |
Antisocial Personality Disorder, APD, is characterized by manipulation and disregard for the emotions of others, and individuals suffering from this disorder often display behaviors that cause them to end up in the criminal justice system. The disor... |
| Reform Is Necessary: An Analysis of the United States Healthcare System after the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act with Comparison to South Africa’s Pluralistic Healthcare System |
2015 |
1480 |
The structural and functional complexity of the United States healthcare system affects its citizens. As such, the healthcare system has caused both economic and social issues to arise, which have demanded the need for healthcare reform. The two majo... |
| Extrinsic Inhibition of the Inferior Colliculus during Audiogenic Seizures: Effects of Unilateral Dorsal Nucleus of the Lateral Lemniscus Lesions in Young Rats |
2010 |
1967 |
In this study, a model of generalized epilepsy was used to investigate the role of extrinsic inhibition of the inferior colliculus (IC) during audiogenic seizures (AGS). There is evidence to suggest that a deficiency of inhibition within the IC plays... |
| Effects of Periodic and/or a Single Exposure to an Enriched Environment on Neural C-fos Expression in Adolescent Rats |
2013 |
1183 |
Environmental enrichment of laboratory animals consists of cognitive, social and physical enhancement of the subjects’ life experiences. Enrichment produces improved performance on memory tasks. In the present study, 16 Long-Evans rats (8 male and 8 ... |
| On The Nature Of Neural Activity In The Hippocampal Formation: Effects Of Periodic And/Or Acute Environmental Enrichment On C-FOS Expression In Adolescent Rats |
2018 |
622 |
The interaction with novel objects and conspecifics, known as environmental enrichment (EE), provides a lasting impact on the brain and behavior of animals. EE alters networks associated with spatial learning and memory. The influence of periodic and... |
| Neural Activity In Amygdala Subdivisions Evoked By Periodic And/Or Single Enriching Experiences In Adolescent Rats |
2019 |
487 |
Adolescence is often a stressful period of time marked with low cognitive control, high emotionality, and increased risk taking behaviors. Environmental enrichment (EE) provides a way to manipulate sensory, motor, and social experiences through inter... |
| Environmental Enrichment Promotes Adaptation to Environment Rearrangement in Younger but not Older Adolescent Rats |
2015 |
717 |
Experiences, such as environmental enrichment (EE), that allow for exploration often lead to brain changes and alter novelty-seeking behaviors, and adolescence is a developmental period in which these behaviors increase. In this study, the effects of... |
| Enrichment Effects On Object-In-Place Task Performance In The Adolescent Rat Are Due To Task Novelty And Subject Age |
2017 |
645 |
Adolescence is a period of rapid physical growth, correlated with increased exploration and novelty-seeking behaviors that can be potentially risky. These behaviors can be mediated by processes such as environmental enrichment (EE), which consists of... |
| Enrichment Influences Social Preference Behavior In Older Female And Male Adolescent Rats |
2017 |
555 |
Rats engage in novelty-seeking behaviors in adolescence. Environmental enrichment (EE) allows rats to experience novelty through physical environments and interaction with conspecifics. The effects of EE on adolescent rats’ behavior during a social p... |
| Integration, Navigation, And Organization: An Exploration Of Two Spatial Processing Loops Using Environmental Enrichment In Adolescent Rats |
2021 |
302 |
Spatial cognition and memory help to build understanding of an organism’s environment. Understanding how one comes to perceive and navigate an environment can give insight into the order and disorder of environmental processing. In this thesis, c-FOS... |
| Environmental Enrichment's Effects On Exploration And Response to Novelty in Adolescent Rats |
2016 |
901 |
Adolescence is a critical period in development for both neural and behavioral change that is characterized by risk-taking, exploration, and novelty-seeking. However, these behavioral and neural changes may be influenced by experiences such as enviro... |
| Neural Activity In The Amygdala Of Young Rats Evoked By One Or More Seizures |
2016 |
889 |
Generalized seizures involving clonic convulsions of the entire body are often a feature of epilepsy and result from abnormal neural firing spreading throughout the forebrain. The amygdala is often required to relay abnormal neuronal excitatory activ... |
| Environmental Enrichment Influences Social Preference Task Behavior And Neural Activity In Adolescent Long-Evans Rats |
2020 |
288 |
Adolescence is a time of physiological growth and development in human beings featuring enhanced social interaction, risk-seeking behavior, and curiosity. Adolescent rats exhibit similar, species-specific characteristics. The aim of the current study... |
