News and current affairs
Although people and rats fear different things, the manner in which the rat and human brain and body respond to danger is similar.
A rat's amygdala responds to natural dangers (rats fear cats without having to learn to do so) and learns about new dangers (sounds, sights and smells that occur in anticipation of cats and other threats).
It is through studies of the way the brain learns about stimuli, such as the sounds that precede danger, that our systems for learning about fear, and memory as a whole, have been elucidated through rat studies.
A rat infected with Toxoplasma is perfectly healthy, but it loses its instinctive fear when it smells a cat.
By altering the rat's neurochemistry, Toxoplasma may make its hosts easier targets.
Culture is a necessary pause from the daily rat race, from our chaotic and often vulgar political surroundings, and it is a chance to recover our spiritual energy.
The New Economy is a rat race, but everybody, at least as a buyer, is king.
