| Beagles cocaine injections (edit) | Beagles cocaine injections | National Institutes of Health | 2,300,000 | The experiments aimed to study potential treatments for cocaine addiction. The objective was to evaluate how an experimental drug might interact with cocaine in the body, specifically looking at adverse cardiovascular effects. This research was conducted under the auspices of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a part of NIH, to explore new treatments for cocaine use disorder. |
?'"`UNIQ--h-0--QINU`"'? Participants[edit source]Six-month-old beagle puppies were used in these experiments. ?'"`UNIQ--h-1--QINU`"'? Methodology[edit source]The dogs were fitted with jackets designed to inject them with cocaine and another experimental compound. They were also surgically implanted with telemetry units to monitor their vital signs during the study. ?'"`UNIQ--h-2--QINU`"'? Duration[edit source]There were at least two separate experiments, one from September 2020 to September 2021 and another from March 2020 to March 2021. ?'"`UNIQ--h-3--QINU`"'? Outcome for the Animals[edit source]After the experiments, the dogs were either euthanized or sent back to the animal colony for potential future use in other experiments.

| Why chimpanzees throw feces (edit) | Why chimpanzees throw feces | National Institutes of Health | 592,527 | The study aimed to investigate if there was a correlation between chimpanzees' ability to throw feces and their communication skills. This research drew from the hypothesis that the development of throwing skills in early hominins might have influenced the evolution of language and speech, particularly focusing on the left hemisphere specialization |
The study concluded that chimpanzees who are better at throwing objects, including feces, have more developed brains, particularly in areas associated with communication. Specifically, these chimpanzees showed more white matter in the homologue of Broca's area, which is linked to speech in humans. It was conducted by William Hopkins at Emory University's Yerkes Primate Center. |
