We applied MRE to study the viscoelasticity of the hippocampus in the mouse, and examined the changes in tissue mechanical property under the influence of enriched environment (EE). In normal mouse brain, we found that hippocampus tissue is more elastic and less viscous compared to the rest of the brain. We also observed an increase in G″ (viscosity) in mice exposed to an enriched environment, which might relate to newborn neurons which are not yet fully integrated into the neuronal network.
