Description
Summary:[...]Cutuli et al. review the effects of enrichment exposure across critical periods of development, particularly on parental care and offspring outcomes. [...]they provide a specific emphasis on the importance of pre-reproductive vs. post-reproductive experiences and transgenerational effects, highlighting some of their own research findings. [...]they were able to demonstrate functional consequences of the EE effect, via behavioral pharmacology. [...]it is important to devote attention to the aspects of enrichment in preclinical settings that promote plasticity, to enable the recreation of these components in clinical settings. Since many disease states show gender disparities, another line of inquiry should include a focus on biological sex differences in enrichment paradigms.
