claimPrenatal exposure to MDMA alters noradrenergic neurodevelopment in rats, according to a 2012 study by Thompson et al. published in Neurotoxicology and Teratology.
claimHuang et al. (2016) reported that ketamine affects the neurogenesis of the hippocampal dentate gyrus in 7-day-old rats.
referenceLiu J et al. investigated the effects of repeated phencyclidine (PCP) administration on adult hippocampal neurogenesis in rats.
claimAnxiety-like behavior induced by salicylate in rats depends on age and can be prevented by a single dose of 5-MeO-DMT, according to a 2020 study by Winne et al. published in Experimental Neurology.
measurementThe animal models most frequently used in the reviewed in vivo studies were rats (66.6%) and mice (31.4%).
claimPrenatal NMDA receptor antagonism impairs the proliferation of neuronal progenitors, leading to fewer glutamatergic neurons in the prefrontal cortex of rats, as found by Toriumi et al. in a 2012 study published in Neuropsychopharmacology.
claimPrenatal exposure to MDMA results in long-term behavioral consequences in rats, as reported by Thompson et al. in a 2009 study in Physiology & Behavior.
claimGoulart et al. (2010) found that ketamine impairs recognition memory consolidation and prevents learning-induced increases in hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in rats.
claimResearchers at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine reported that 1µM DOI transiently promoted dendritic remodeling in cultured cortical pyramidal neurons from rats, characterized by spine enlargement that began 30 minutes after exposure and returned to control size 60 minutes later, a process mediated by Kalirin-7.
claimGarcía-Cabrerizo and García-Fuster (2016) compared the effects of amphetamine-like psychostimulants on hippocampal cell genesis in rats across different developmental ages.
accountAltman and Das first evidenced adult neurogenesis, the process by which new neurons are continuously added to the brain, in 1965 through autoradiographic and histological evidence of postnatal hippocampal neurogenesis in rats.

claimInsulin resistance causes lipid accumulation and lipid peroxidation in the liver of rats.
measurementA high-fat and high-carbohydrate diet consisting of 46.1% fat, 35.8% carbohydrate, and 18.1% protein by weight causes insulin resistance in rats, characterized by increased Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels.

referenceGalef (1990) demonstrated that rats readily eat a new kind of food if they smell it at another rat’s mouth, but not if they smell it at another part of the body.
referenceGarcia and Koelling (1966) demonstrated that rats can learn to avoid food that makes them nauseous, but they cannot learn an association between a sound or light and feeling nauseous, disconfirming the model of the mind as a general learning mechanism.
