科学家们用大量的老鼠来进行试验。他们将老鼠分成两组，第一组老鼠喂食20天的安非他命或是可卡因，第二组老鼠喂食20天的盐水。
When the twenty days were up, half of the rats were moved from ordinary laboratory cages to fancy new cages equipped with all kinds of bridges, ramps, tunnels, and other toys.
20天过后，他们将一半的老鼠从普通的实验笼子转移到配备有桥梁，坡道，有隧道以及其他玩具的“超豪华”的新笼子里。
After three and half months the scientists examined all of the rats brains.

They discovered that the saline solution rats that were moved to the new cages had a greater number of neuronal connections than all the other rats, including the drugged rats in the new cages.
他们发现，搬入新环境的喂食盐水的老鼠比其他的老鼠建立了更多的神经元连接。
