Summary

It is shown that prolonged CE exposure was associated with increased selectivity of CA1 “place cells” to a particular recording arena compared to a social control group, and fewer CA1 and DG neurons in the CE group expressed high levels of Arc protein, a marker of recent activation, following brief exposure to a completely novel environment.
