One Idea to Share with Everybodyffice ffice" /> (I have to apologize to the readers that I can’t type in Chinese due to the computer I am working with. If you find any Chinese character in my post, it must be “copy-paste” from somewhere else.)This idea is coming from my last post, <失忆老鼠竟可不怕猫???>. However I haven’t searched any reference yet. 1. Let’s have enough mice which were born in lab and have never met to a cat. 2. Group them to 3 experimental groups: Group 1: Be used for repeating the same experiment the researchers had done for their paper on <Neuron>. Group 2: Change the electrical shock signal to the presenting a cat. Repeat the same experiment as Group 1. Group 3: Repeat the same experiment as Group 1 first. Then have each one of them to meet a cat. 3. My expecting results from the above experiments are: Group 1: The result should be same as the paper. Group 2: The mice should be still fear of a cat when the drug has been used. Group 3: The mice should be still fear of a cat even though they have no memory about the electrical shock. 4. If the experimental results are same as my expectation, you may write a paper with the following conclusions. A. The claim of the paper on <Neuron> has been confirmed to be a repeatable discovery. B. The discovery is only about memory associating with fear, not directly associating with how to generate fear at the first time. C. To be in fear of a cat is not learned by the experience of a mouse, but carried by its gene. 5. If the experimental results are not same as my expectation and have been confirmed, I will congratulate to you because you may have a new discovery in this field! Have fun with it!
