Morphological plasticity of medium-sized spiny neurons of the striatum was examined in Long-Evans hooded rats reared in complex or individual cage environments. Rat pups, aged 28-32 days, were housed either individually in standard laboratory cages or as a group in a large toy- and object-filled environment for 30 days. The spine density on dendrites of medium-sized spiny neurons in the dorsolateral striatum was then examined using the Golgi-Cox method. Rats reared in the complex environment displayed an increase of approximately 30% in spine density relative to those reared individually. These results demonstrate experience-dependent changes in neural structure in the striatum and suggest that the mechanisms for information storage in response to experience may be more widespread in the forebrain than previously believed.
