Environmental enrichment reduces restricted repetitive behavior by altering gray matter microstructure
by Anna L. Farmer, Marcelo Febo, Bradley J. Wilkes, Mark H. Lewis
Restricted, repetitive behaviors are common symptoms in neurodevelopmental disorders including autism spectrum disorder. Despite being associated with poor developmental outcomes, repetitive behaviors remain poorly understood and have limited treatment options. Environmental enrichment attenuates the development of repetitive behaviors, but the exact mechanisms remain obscure. Using the C58 mouse model of repetitive behavior... Читать дальше...
