Compared with environmentally impoverished rats,those rats housed in enriched environments developed

D) epigenetic marks.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that rats housed in enriched environments have a significantly thicker and more complex cerebral cortex compared with rats housed in impoverished environments. This suggests that environmental enrichment can lead to increased brain development and growth. Choices A and B are incorrect as schemas and attachments are not directly related to brain development. Choice D is partially correct but too vague, as it is not specified what specific epigenetic marks are present in enriched rats.
