N2  - The fact that our brain is continuously shaped by the environment and experience presents many challenges. It was noted several decades ago that exposure of a laboratory rat to a complex environment alters its brain and improves problem solving in complex tasks. Rats that are housed in an enriched environment can better compensate for brain lesion-induced deficits and resist neurodegeneration. In this article, the role of an enriched environment on brain plasticity following experimentally-induced lesions is discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
