Background: Environmental Enrichment (EE) has been studied in rehabilitation for several pathologies. Objective: to investigate the effects of EE on young wistar rats submitted to status epilepticus, on behavior and anxiety patterns. Methods: Longitudinal study with 40 rats, submitted to seizures on the 15th day and environmental enrichment, and later to the labyrinth tests in high cross and open field. The two-way ANOVA test was used, considering a significant value of p <0.05. Results: In the labyrinth test, there was a relationship between two paws (p <0.01), risk behavior (p <0.01) in open arms (p <0.01), number of entries in closed arms (p <0.01), time in the closed arms (p <0.01) and the number of crosses in the open field (p = 0.01) with status epilepticus. There was no relationship between the tests and the EE. Conclusion: The EE did not reverse the behavior and anxiety patterns affected by the status epilepticus.Downloads
