Paper Summary:
Lab animals are almost always used to test new products and show the reliability of products. This paper argues that the testing on animals does not always produce accurate results as the animals will sometimes develop bizarre behaviors due to the lab conditions.
From the Paper:
"In the late 1950's, Mark Rosenzweig found that the living environment affects the development of the animal's brain (Yeoman, 2003) He found that animals in larger cages with various stimulants like mazes, ladders and sponges tend to have a higher level of acetyl cholinesterase. With the increase in this enzyme, the weights of their cerebral cortex higher (Yeoman, 2003)."
