Keeping animals in a varied environment with stimulation increases the:
A) branching of dendrites.
B) speed of action potentials.
C) density of Nodes of Ranvier along the axon.
D) thickness of axons.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Keeping animals in a varied environment with stimulation has been shown to lead to increased branching of dendrites. This can result in more connections between neurons and increased neural plasticity. It does not directly affect the speed of action potentials, density of Nodes of Ranvier, or thickness of axons.
