  1. More Experience = Bigger Brain? A study by M. R. Rosenzweig, E. L. Bennet, and M. C. Diamond

  2. Background & Method • Stimulating environments lead to brain growth? • Three different environments • Analysis of brains

  3. Conclusions • Cortex size affected • Acetylcholinesterase • Faster neural impulses • Synapses

  4. Significant but Controversial • Relation to humans • Criticisms • Research on humans not possible • Stress– lab conditions

  5. Recent Applications • Diamond Use it, don’t lose it! • Analysis of human autopsies • Pig application

  6. Relevance to You • Challenge yourself • Get involved We want YOU to have faster neural impulses!

  7. Questions?
