Driving Relaxes you, Just Ask a Rat!
I found this today,
[quote]Researchers at the University of Richmond built a little car out of a clear plastic food container, some wheels, and wires, and taught rats how to make it move.
............
they found that the rats that had been taught to drive showed an elevated level of the hormone that counteracts stress[/quote]

Further in the article they say that the rats are given Fruit Loops cereal as a reward. So I'm not sure if this can actually be attributed to the driving or if it is all that sugar giving off the elevated hormone response.
Next it will be [b]Driving Causes Diabetes in Research Rats[/b]

4 Repliesdoes it mention if they measured levels before or after fruit loop distribuiton and whether or not they continued to award the rats after the behavior was learned? Even then, it could just be the relationship in their mind that they might get a fruit loop

Driving only relieves stress if you aren't surrounded by a bunch of imbeciles on the road.

I don't need to see anything to know that rats are already better drivers than humans are...
