Environmental enrichment induces structural and functional modulations in the brain. The benefits of environmental enrichment (EE) include increased production and maturation of new neurons, enhanced levels of brain growth factors, synaptic strength, and plasticity. In addition, EE improves the immune condition of the brain, modulates gene expression, elicits epigenetic changes, and augments dendritic branching and synaptogenesis.
