ABSTRACT
Enriched environment stimulates brain plasticity processes after brain lesion. Less is known about the influence of enriched environment with activity stimulating factors as determinants of functional outcome after peripheral nerve repair. BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) plays a role in activity-dependent neuronal plasticity and changes in motor cortex in rats learning complex motor skills. Our study aimed to elucidate if enriched environment influences functional results after peripheral nerve repair. The results in this rat sciatic nerve transection and repair model showed that environment enriched with activity stimulating factors can improve functional results.
