Induction of prolonged natural lifespans in mice exposed to acoustic environmental enrichment

Abstract We investigated the effect of acoustic environmental enrichment (EE) on the lifespans and behaviours of mice to the end of their natural lifespan in different acoustic environments. Acoustic EE induced a significantly prolonged natural lifespan (nearly 17% longer) and was associated with in...
