Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rats raised in an enriched environment have been shown to have more and longer dendrites, which are the branching extensions of nerve cells that receive inputs from other cells.

This increased connectivity is thought to contribute to improved learning and cognitive function in these animals.
