Turning the volume up appears to turn brain function down. Among rats given the high dose of ecstasy, those exposed to 95 decibels--the maximum noise legally allowed in Italian nightclubs--had ECoG readings half as high as rats not exposed to sound. Brain activity for rats left to trip quietly returned to normal after 1 day, but raving rats' brain activity stayed low for 5 days. Rats given low doses of ecstasy also had low ECoG readings after sound exposure, but their readings returned to normal after just 1 day. Those given saline instead of ecstasy experienced no drop in ECoG reading, the team reports online today in BMC Neuroscience.

I'm sure 95 decibels is a lot more for a rat than for humans.

Yet, he notes that the rats were given higher doses of ecstasy than would be seen in humans, so the results may not translate directly to people.

So some rats get injected with AIDS and are genetically engineered to have cancer and some rats get stoned and listen to Paul van Dyk? Where's the justice?

very interesting, i knew that high ambient temperatures have been linked to increased damage but i'm really surprised to see the volume of the music has an effect. i'd like to see this study reproduced

Was it the music, or simply brain stimulation?

I would think that if you are listening to music you completely enjoy, it being louder would almost capture you in the moment of your roll which would probably seem like the high is intesified.

I guess im saying, doesnt really have to be music your enjoying.. i wonder if the mice that had sex had the same effect...

I don't think rats have the ability to "enjoy" music

Injecting rats with Aids or cancer or whatever is fine with me. They're the most vile creatures on this earth! I like my animals but they're disgusting rodents. I usually inject them with snapping metal on their backs or poison in their bellies.

Well... sex on E is an entirely different category, but I completely agree with you. E enhances the way your body percieves sensory input (the same reason why everything feels interesting and different while you're rolling). It only stands to reason that hearing, and that intricate sound patterns would produce an intense sensation. Then again, it's nice to think that E is more fun for fans of EDM.

Dogs seem to, so why can't a rat?
