Drugged up spider monkeys
So, at the moment I’m studying Brain and Behaviour, with the Open university. It’s great, and very interesting and all, but I am one for leaving my assignments until the last minute.
As I was looking up the effect that opiates have on the mesolimbic dopamine neurons, I came across this sentence in relation to cocaine:
“Spider monkeys with a history of intravenous self-administration…”
Yeah, spider monkeys: the advertising sales reps of the animal kingdom. Lying around in their flash suits, talking nonsense all day.
Good thing those scientists found them, that’s all I can say.
