Autophagy is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis, and can be activated after ischemic stroke. It also participates in nerve injury and repair. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether an enriched environment has neuroprotective effects through affecting autophagy. A Sprague-Dawl...
