Scientists hold 'rave concert' for drugged mice Scientists have been giving mice drugs and playing them records by The Prodigy. Researchers wanted to find out if the music had any effect on the way methamphetamines are absorbed by the body. They discovered the effects were more severe during music by the dance band than during works by Bach. Loud music alone didn't harm the mice - those given injections of plain salt water instead of speed fell asleep during the "rave". Four of the 40 mice exposed to Bach died during or after the experiment, while seven of the 40 Prodigy mice died. Jenny Morton, of Cambridge University, said: "It seems that listening to pulsatile music strengthens the toxic effects of methamphetamine." She also noted that drugged mice subjected to both kinds of music also had more disturbing behaviour - remaining in one spot but swaying backwards and forwards. She told New Scientist: "If you saw how the mice behaved, you wouldn't want to take methamphetamine." ---- see also: http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_430790.html <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
