Increased expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor mRNA in rat hippocampus is associated with improved spatial memory and enriched environment.

TL;DR: It is reported that rats housed in an enriched environment showed improved performance in the Morris water maze and decreased spontaneous motor activity, suggesting that environmental history of the animal is of importance to induce expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the hippocampus that may promote neuronal changes related to learning and memory.
