Environmental enrichment and recovery following anterior thalamic lesions. (360G-Wellcome-086237_Z_08_A)
The research has two parallel aims. The first is to study the rescue of memory loss after brain injury using lesions of the anterior thalamic nucleus in rats to model ?diencephalic amnesia?. In particular, the research will determine the functional impact of environmental enrichment on recovery and examine potential mechanisms for the beneficial effects that have so far been described. The second aim is to identify clinical cases with amnesia and damage to diencephalic structures and determine the potential for rehabilitation procedures based on the enrichment programme with rodents.
