Environmental enrichment concerns how the brain is affected by the stimulation of its information processing provided by its surroundings. Brains in richer, more stimulating environments, have increased numbers of synapses, and the dendrite arbors upon which they reside are more complex. This effect happens particularly during neurodevelopment, but also to a lesser degree in adulthood. With extra synapses there is also increased synapse activity and so increased size and number of glial energy support cells. Capillary vasculation also is greater to provide the neurons and glial with extra energy. The neuropil expands making the cortex thicker. There may also exist more neurons. Research in nonhuman animals finds that more stimulating environments could aid the treatment and recovery of a diverse variety of brain related dysfunctions such as aging and Alzheimer s disease, whereas as lack of stimulation might impair cognitive development.
