A significant time ago, I watched a late-night documentary absently, whilst reading a book. I briefly remember it detailing that they had wired a mouse's brain, so that when they push an electronic button remotely, the mouse would experience an orgasm. In turn, they used this to train the mouse and reported great success.

Does anyone have any more information on this, and how hard would it be to do this to a human?

I remember this documentary also anon, the mouse proceeded to press that button as many times as possible.

think that was the ols/ milner experiment?

pretty sure they stimulated the nucleus accumbus of the rate which resulted in increased dopamine levels in the rates brain.

yeah the mouse became dehydrated and starved just sitting there pressing the button.
