Stop Researchers Purposely Depressing Rats!

Lab rats already have to endure many exper­i­ments in order for humans to learn new things. Now, they have to deal with a robot­ic rat that's sole pur­pose is to leave them depressed. Researchers at Wase­da Uni­ver­si­ty in Tokyo, Japan decid­ed to build a robot rat in order to stress out the lab rats. New Sci­en­tist reports that the robot, named WR-3, was designed to irri­tate rats and depress them. WR-3 was put into a cage with two groups of 12 rats. One group of the rats was con­stant­ly harassed by WR-3 and the other group was inter­mit­tent­ly attacked by WR-3 when­ev­er they moved. The goal of the stress induc­ing exper­i­ment appears to be to get the lab rats depressed so that they are ideal sub­jects to test anti­de­pres­sants, a cat­e­go­ry of drugs designed to treat depres­sion.
