5 times scientists give test animals .... stimulants and a happy ending

Recognizing the negative effects of addictive substances on human life, scientists have done a lot of animal research in the hope of discovering something that helps us reduce the negative effects of drugs. . Here are 6 typical experiments and what they have learned.

1. Octopus: suddenly like to make friends

Science has proved that geniuses are often lonely, and octopus is probably a good example of this. They are very intelligent and capable of learning quite well but indeed these individuals all like to live alone, only actively communicate with the same type in the breeding season only.

 

However, when being used to try ecstasy, octopus suddenly . become friendly, like to communicate and spend more time with the same type. Some are also noted to have hugged octopus that they play with.

It turns out, human and octopus reception mechanisms are quite similar. The body stimulant that releases hormone serotonin - is also known as the "happy" hormone name . This hormone affects the mood and how we interact with each other.

Although it is unclear how octopus is, in people after fun moments, ecstasy will leave many dangerous health effects, so many countries have listed it as a banned substance.

2. Ong: "fallen", quit working to find medicine

For a very long time, scientists once believed that most insects cannot be addicted. Because plants used to extract stimulants contain a lot of chemicals, such as natural insecticides, they are not often harmed by insects. When insects eat, they lose control and "fall" from the tree.

But when experimenting on the effects of cocaine on bees, the results are far from what we expected.Bees when given a small amount of cocaine on the body tend to become "hyperactive" and overly excited .

Normally, bees will shake the body to signal the quality of nectar with the same type. The better the bile, the more heat it shakes. However, while "critiquing" , regardless of the type of secret, how much or less, they still shake evil as much as possible, sometimes to report the whole team to run in vain.

After a week of flying, researchers decided to stop them. Bees exhibit many symptoms similar to humans: fatigue, lack of enthusiasm for work and cognitive ability - memory is impaired. A few heavy addicts are also noted that they not only focus on finding every nectar but also find ways to get medicine.

3. Fruit flies: lonely depression likes to drink alcohol

I am optimistic in the crowd but when I am alone, I don't.

We have always known that every alcoholic drink is more or less causing a certain excitement for the brain. It activates the body to release dopamine, which makes us feel excited, happy and love life. So before doing the experiment, the scientists thought that every fly as well as a fly would die and die tired of alcohol.

Just wrong! It turns out, the mating flies don't seem to have any interest in food mixed with alcohol, they prefer a more normal type. In contrast, the children who were rejected by their peers tended to load 4 times more alcohol.

In later studies, we find that this is similar in humans, meaning that the more healthy you live, the harder it will be for you to be addicted to alcohol.

4. Female monkeys are infertile when drinking too much alcohol

In addition to trying to be moderately active, we can also take examples of the consequences of alcohol as a motivation for us to give up. An experiment in Macaca monkeys has shown that children with alcoholism tend to stop ovulation . This may partly explain the phenomenon of infertility due to drinking alcohol in women.

5. Spider: Raising naughty nets

 

Another insect that cannot be made to eat when using addictive substances is spider.

These players are probably the test subjects that try the most drugs. For each type we get a separate reaction, but in general, spiders become "lazy", tend to ignore long and difficult lines. This study also shows that the more toxic the drug is used for spiders, the worse and distorted the woven net .
