Abstract
⺠Rats were reared in either an enriched environment or a standard environment for 4 months. ⺠Myelin sheaths were quantitatively investigated using stereological methods. ⺠Enrichment increased the myelinated fiber length of aged white matter. ⺠Enrichment increased the axon volume and myelin sheath volume of aged white matter. ⺠Enrichment mostly increased smaller fibers with thinner myelin sheaths.
