Enriched housing conditions (enriched environment, EE) during development has been shown to influence adult rat behavior and transmitter systems, especially dopamine receptors. (Leggio, Mandolesi,Federico, Spirito, Ricci, Gelfo, F., et al., 2005). Leggio et al (2005) in their experiment have examined the behavioral effects of environmental quality on different levels of spatial function and have looked at the dendritic arborisation (process of branching) and the spine density in a cortical area which plays a role in spatial learning.
