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.
