Animal Research on Effects of Experience on Brain and Behavior: Implications for Rehabilitation.
Rosenzweig, Mark R.
Infants and Young Children, v15 n2 p1-10 Oct 2002
This article first considers how plasticity of the brain in response to differential experience was discovered in research with laboratory rats around 1960. Animal research soon followed on effects of enriched experience as therapy for brain dysfunction. Relations between animal research and some human therapies are considered. (Contains references.)
