THE ETHICS OF PAIN: MORAL STATUS, EMOTION, COGNITION, AND THE LAW OF LABORATORY ANIMALS IN PAIN RESEARCH
… is often conducted on neurologically developed animals in order to develop treatments for human pain. The experience of pain involves the physical perception of pain, along with the mental states of emotion and cognition. Pain research is an ethically significant issue as it can cause animals to …

A COMPARISION OF DELTA-9-TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL DEPENDENCE IN C57Bl/6j MICE AND FATTY ACID AMIDE HYDROLASE KNOCK OUT MICE
The idea that humans and laboratory animals can become physically dependent on marijuana or its primary psychoactive constituent, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), is gaining acceptance. However, there are no currently approved pharmacotherapies to treat cannabinoid withdrawal. The objective of …

Consuming a diet enriched with choline, UMP, and DHA improves memory in rodents when these compounds increase phospholipids
A new treatment tested in laboratory animals increases synaptic membrane and cholinergic neurotransmission. This treatment involves giving three compounds; DHA, a phosphatide precursor; choline, another phosphatide precursor present in the rodents' diets but not varied in this study; and UMP, a …

Hemagglutination by the hog cholera virus
The successful diagnosis of hog cholera in the laboratory has been hampered by the fact that small laboratory animals cannot be used satisfactorily. In this work an attempt has been made to determine whether the hog cholera virus would agglutinate red blood cells and to determine optimal conditions …
