Rat Park

Stuart McMillen

4.9/5 (21604 ratings)

Description:A thought-provoking comic about a classic experiment into drug addiction science from the 1970s and 1980s. Professor Bruce Alexander from Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada wondered whether or not rats would choose to take drugs if given a stimulating environment and social company. Alexander and his colleagues created a large social enclosure nicknamed 'Rat Park' in his Department of Psychology offices, and ran experiments on rats using morphine. The team of scientists compared the socially-housed rats' consumption habits against those of other rats that were housed in solitary cages.Stuart McMillen's distinctive comic artwork explains the scientific experiment step-by-step. In short, the Rat Park experiments found that the rats in the cages behaved very differently to the rats in the social enclosure. The rats in social company were far less likely to take morphine than the rats that were held in isolation. The comic concludes with Bruce Alexander grappling with the implications of his research for human drug-use patterns, and addiction more broadly.First published online in 2013 by Australian comics artist Stuart McMillen, Rat Park has been read by hundreds of thousands of readers, and translated into multiple languages.
