Abstract:Environmentally enriched housing (EE) provides a stimulating and species‐typical environment that enhances brain plasticity and cognition, while reducing disease severity in laboratory animals. However, standardizing EE protocols has been challenging due to issues such as variability, high pricing, or limited laboratory space. To address these challenges, we present a replicable and cost‐efficient cage protocol that is accessible to researchers with limited resources and space constraints. The protocol is desi… Show more
