摘要

环境复杂性是一种实验范例，也是动物日常居住体验的潜在组成部分。在实验应用中，研究人员增加复杂性来刺激大脑发育，延缓大脑退化性变化，引发更自然的行为，并测试学习和记忆。复杂性可以加剧或减轻行为问题，给动物一种控制感，并允许表达高度驱动的物种典型行为，这些行为可以改善动物福利。复杂环境的设计应考虑到动物的自然行为，在文献中如实报道，并仔细评估意外影响。

Environmental Complexity and Research Outcomes.

Environmental complexity is an experimental paradigm as well as a potential part of animals' everyday housing experiences. In experimental uses, researchers add complexity to stimulate brain development, delay degenerative brain changes, elicit more naturalistic behaviors, and test learning and memory. Complexity can exacerbate or mitigate behavioral problems, give animals a sense of control, and allow for expression of highly driven, species-typical behaviors that can improve animal welfare. Complex environments should be designed thoughtfully with the animal's natural behaviors in mind, reported faithfully in the literature, and evaluated carefully for unexpected effects.

期刊介绍： The ILAR Journal is the peer-reviewed, theme-oriented publication of the Institute for Laboratory Animal Research (ILAR), which provides timely information for all who study, use, care for, and oversee the use of animals in research. The journal publishes original articles that review research on animals either as direct subjects or as surrogates for humans. According to policy, any previously unpublished animal research reported in the ILAR Journal will have been conducted according to the scientific, technical, and humanely appropriate guidelines current at the time the research was conducted in accordance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals or other guidance provided by taxonomically-oriented professional societies (e.g., American Society of Mammalogy) as referenced in the Guide.
