the forced swim test which we call "life".>>
The reason I hold behavioral pharmacologists in such high esteem is that their procedures for screening drugs produced, in addition to predictive validity for antidepressants, genius metaphors for life. is there any better description for that awful feeling at which one realizes that one is at the mercy of an unyielding fate than "learned helplessness"?
I, of course, hold the rats in high esteem as well. Anyone who's looked into into an animal's eyes knows they are essentially the same as us when it comes to the basic emotions- fear, sadness, and maybe even desire for love, maybe even desire for freedom.
