Rats reared under dietary enrichment or standard diet from 25 days of age underwent septal or control surgery 2 months later. Enrichment differentially altered septal or control behavior as measured by: exploration tests; fluid consumption of water, saccharin, and quinine; and the acquisition of an active avoidance task.
