1. Environmental novelty potently prevents impairment of

2. Expose young mice for 4 weeks (2-6 wk old) to a complex environment of
novel objects they can explore from 9:00 – 5:00. Change the “toys” each day.
3. Golgi staining of hippocampus: dendritic spine area, length
and volume -- but not density – are increased by exposure to EE
Standard housing Enriched environment
13. Prolonged exposure to novelty contributes more to prevention
of Aβ-impaired LTP than does prolonged exercise alone
14. Use It or Lose It?
Exposing healthy, wild-type mice to a novel environment produces
several benefits for hippocampal structure and function
These benefits make the EE mice substantially resistant to the acute
synaptic toxicity of soluble Ab oligomers isolated from AD cortex
Among numerous signaling cascades augmented by EE, a b 2-adrenergic
pathway shows more enhancement than other monoamine receptors
Accordingly, we can mimic the EE resistance to Aß oligomers by
prolonged feeding of a b-adrenergic agonist (isoproterenol) to SH mice
Prolonged exposure to a novel environment promotes resistance
to Ab oligomers more effectively than does prolonged exercise
The benefits of EE exposure can be observed not just in
juvenile mice but also in middle-aged mice if done longer
