Figure 2.
Effects of 7 days exposure to the naturalistic habitat (NH) on protein levels of (A): BDNF; (B): phospho-synapsin I (p-synapsin I); (C); phospho-CREB (p-CREB); and (D): GAP-43 in the adult somatosensory cortex (SSC). The NH promoted a trend for an increase in all protein studied but p-CREB was the only one to reach significance compared to cage control group. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM Independent sample T-test (SPSS 16.0) was carried out between NH and cage con groups (**p<0.01, n=9/group).
