A tribute to the mouse
Mouse and the drug's story is not only one target, British Colombia SimonFraser University Professor BruceAlexander led a team that is trying to from another point of interpretation of rodents or entanglement of human drug.
Alexander, etc. along with those who belong to a completely different kind of researchers, this group of people that simply looking for a treatment for drug addiction boluses, in fact belied the truth about the whole thing — we would easily fall into the trap, because we live a lonely and unhappy life.
The study began in the 1970s, when the industry is keen to be a mouse are placed in a separate small cages, and observe how they will be keen to give up drugs, even at the cost of food and water, and eventually died of thirst.
This phenomenon also being promoted to well known: the drugs have an inherent and unavoidable addictive. However, the fact is it true?, addictive drug in any case, unchanged inherent characteristics?The predecessor already had a large number of repeat testing, the mice were without exception will be caught in a drug addict, then repeated relapse.
So Alexander and his collaborators made a bold assumptions: mice life extremely bad, they're lonely, depressed and life boring, so we put into the arms of the temptation.In order to prove he inferred that Alexander had established a lab rat of heaven — the "rat Park".
The radius of 200 square feet (18 m 2?) living area has canned bottle available for play, painted a beautiful streams and grassland, and has a large number of small rooms for rodents for appointments, marriage and other social activities.16 a lucky rats were Alexander selected, a "bump" into the lost Garden, began their happy life.
There are two kinds of beverage options: water or fly a sweet cocktail of morphine. Alexander to a control group of those kept in cages of rats were also offers the same drink options. Result?Real relationships clearly exceeded the thrill of morphine in artificial, rat Park mice on morphine solution almost doesn't touch, while the control group of lonely, depressed mice were quickly accepted the lent the fate of toxic annoyance, which alone guy drink of morphine cocktail fully mouse garden gang lucky dog 12 times!
From here, the Alexander and his secret: unless a man is born to live in a live version of the garden of Eden, will it be possible to eliminate any form of addiction.
Traditional drug dependence research scholars, although it is not like Alexander regarding the search for ring addictions is just plain dumb assertions, but also agreed with the "living environment is critical," conclusions.
These scholars have finally reached a point of view, perhaps the good parents better listen listening: a positive, good educational environment, especially in childhood and adolescence, is a human resistance "addiction" strong umbrella.□ Cirsii (Beijing life sciences master 's)
