will all due respect, It is obvious with regards to neurology that humans are more advanced, but the use of rodents (and some primates) is THE only way we have to do such research. Most rodents used for neurological/psychological research are genetically produced to mimic various neurologic conditions (knock-out rodents)...
I understand you dont agree with the results of the study, I don't either, I just post the info...but if you dissagree because of the test subjects, then you have no scientific "leg" to stand on, because this is how it's done, and even if you were to find 50 refuting OR supporting studies, they would all be done on rodents or at best primates.
