Mouse Rave!

I�m going to post this in chill out but I though I�d let the UKTA�s have a peep at it first...

Scientists who blasted drugged mice with loud music in an experiment described by the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection as �tasteless and horrific� have received an official Home Office reprimand, a year after the results of the study were published in the Journal NeuroReport. The Experiments on 238 mice at Cambridge University, led by Dr Jenny Morton, were a by-product of research into Huntingdon�s Disease.

Half the mice were injected with methamphetamine and half with salt water. They were then exposed to silence, white noise, or loud music � either the dance act The Prodigy or Bach�s Violin Concerto in A Minor, which have a similar tempo. Mice Injected with salt fell asleep when the music was played, but the sound dramatically affected the drugged mice, causing them to suffer more speed-induced brain damage than normal. Seven died listening to The Prodigy and four while listening to Bach. They appeared to �jiggle backwards and forwards� as the music pounded in their ears.
