Cocaine
In which Rat supplies the missing information
This meme was brought to our attention by Amy Sukwan in Midweek Memes:
For those interested, this comes from a 2011 study: Music-induced context preference following cocaine conditioning in rats
It’s somewhat more sinister than just drugging poor rodents; «conditioning» here means using drugs to make them like something they didn’t originally like.
Anyway, some things need to be clarified…
In other news, Rat might be seen as slacking lately; unfortunately, there are some things in the outside world that need to be solved but we expect to return with full vigor in a week or two.
I love the meme followup!! I think I will share that on my next meme set. I think behavioral studies of animals are extremely interesting. I'd like to think they're more ethical than slaughtering the rats 5 days after giving them a Covid jab say, or for that matter, all of the extremely unethical behavioral studies they do on humans instead...
