The effects of whisker trimming on the mRNA levels for BDNF; synapsin I; CREB and GAP-43 in the rat hippocampus (HP). Whiskers were trimmed and separate groups of rats were exposed to the naturalistic habitat (NH-whk) or normal control cage (cage-whk) for two days. The trimming of the whiskers affected mRNA levels in rats exposed to NH and normal cages (cage-whk). Results were compared to rats with intact whiskers exposed to normal cages. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA was conducted followed by Bonferroni post hoc comparisons between groups. (**p<0.01, n=9/group).
