Abstract

The article focuses on a technique that enables drug-addicted animals to give themselves intravenous injections at will. Drug addition is described by the World Health Organization as a state of periodic or chronic intoxication detrimental to the individual and to the society. Some factors affecting the voluntary intake of drugs can be investigated in the laboratory.
