Epidemiological studies show that stimulating activities reduce the risk of dementia. In animal models of Alzheimer disease, there have been conflicting results of the effects of environmental enrichment (EE) on disease-related amyloid pathology. Here, we tested the direct effect of EE, independently of amyloid pathology, on brain neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), which best correlate with dementia. We exposed...
