Sex-dependent neurochemical effects of environmental enrichment in the visual system
Highlights • Early environmental enrichment equally affects visual tissues in both sexes during prepuberty. • Early environmental enrichment increases serotonergic activity in the adult female retina. • Late environmental enrichment increases dopaminergic activity in the male visual cortex. • Visual...

Summary: | Highlights • Early environmental enrichment equally affects visual tissues in both sexes during prepuberty. • Early environmental enrichment increases serotonergic activity in the adult female retina. • Late environmental enrichment increases dopaminergic activity in the male visual cortex. • Visual adaptation concerns the female retina and the male visual cortex. |
