Short exposure to an enriched environment accelerates plasticity in the barrel cortex of adult rats.

In the SCWP group of animals stimulation of the paired D1 whisker shows a barely significant (<0.05, MWU) increase in magnitude following 15 h WP relative to the control non-whisker-paired SC condition for both the supragranular or barrel neuron populations.
