Cage life may drive lab animals so insane that experiments are

invalid

It is a scientist's reward: after feeding a laboratory mouse an

untried medicine, or turning it into a cocaine addict, or flashing

lights at it, the rodent appears to get smarter, or slower, or more

discerning. Do it a hundred times, and you have got a research paper -

or a billion-pound drug.

 

But what if the mouse, in the bleak, confined circumstances of its

laboratory cage, has gone quietly insane before the experiment even

begins?
