丰富的环境可以降低对压力源的反应，也可以调节疼痛感知。在这项研究中，我们试图比较丰富的和标准的住房对温度感知的影响。在一项操作性试验中，饲养在丰富环境中的大鼠对热刺激的敏感性显着降低，在饲养室中的探索行为减少。这些研究结果表明，环境丰富可以显着影响温度感知，可能通过压力相关的机制。(c)2007 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
Environmental enrichment reduces reactivity to stressor and could also modulate pain perception. In this study we sought to compare the effects of enriched and standard housing on temperature perception. In an operant assay, rats housed in an enriched environment exhibited significantly lower sensitivities to thermal stimuli and displayed less exploratory behavior in a rearing chamber. These findings indicate that environmental enrichment can significantly affect temperature perception, likely through stress-related mechanisms. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
