Sensory experience determines enrichment-induced plasticity in rat auditory cortex.

Percaccio CR, Pruette AL, Mistry ST, Chen YH, Kilgard MP (2007) Sensory experience determines enrichment-induced plasticity in rat auditory cortex. Brain Res 1174:76-91. doi: 10.1016/j.brainres.2007.07.062

Summary: Animals housed in enriched environments display numerous signs of good neural health. In this work the authors examined the role acetylcholine plays in this plasticity. 2.6 µg of 192-IgG-SAP (Cat. #IT-01) was injected into the left lateral ventricle of rats. Auditory evoked responses were used to assess the effect of lesioning cholinergic neurons. Response strength was not reduced in lesioned animals, indicating that cholinergic deficits do not affect this system.
