Experience "rat paradise" and drug addiction

in #science5 years ago

Take a test mouse, put it in a cage .. And gave him two bottles of water: the first where the water is normal, and the second where the water with drugs such as heroin or cocaine ... The mouse does most of the time drinking water with drugs, and in this case kills himself quickly.

In the 1970s, Professor Alexander posed a question about this experiment. He said that we put the mouse in an empty cage. The professor built a cage and called it "rat paradise" and it looked like a beautiful paradise for mice ... She had a lot of cheese, colorful toys, corridors and tunnels, and each mouse had several friends and sexual relations, and also the same bottles of water and water with drugs.

What surprised everyone: all the mice in the mice garden never liked water with the drug .. and did not drink anything from it ... did not drink any mouse from him on his own.

Result: 100% of mice die from overdose when isolated, and 0% zero die when they live a happy and social life.
What if the addiction is caused by cage and isolation? And what if addiction is some kind of adaptation to a particular environment? Do you think it's better to call it attached and not addiction? Humans have an inherent natural need to communicate with others.
