Lifestyle factors exert a significant influence on the structure and function of the brain. These effects are particularly pronounced in the hippocampus, crucial for learning and memory, known for its plasticity and the existence of adult neurogenesis—the generation of new neurons in adulthood. While the enhancing effect of environmental stimulation on adult neurogenesis has been extensively studied, there has been a notable lack of attention to its impact on other cell types within the adult neurogenic niche, such as microglia.In this study, we investigated the effects of environmental stimul
