Project: The Effects of Environmental Enrichment on Male Mice Behavior

This study includes two different experiments where the effects of environmental enrichment were measured on male mice. The enrichments used are some of the more popular commercially produced enrichments, in hopes to study the effects of what is actually being used. The behaviors that are being measured are those of aggressive interactions, stereotypies, other social behaviors, and finally any effects on the social hierarchy of the animals.
