Nottingham University has been the subject of Animal Aid's Mad Science Awards, which in 1997 featured animals bred in solitary confinement at Nottingham University to act as an "animal model" of human anxiety and depression.
Ten years later nothing has changed at University of Nottingham where rats' screams of pain were recorded:
"In a collaborative behaviour study with the University of Ireland, male rats [at Nottm University] were injected with formalin - a toxic chemical that causes considerable and lasting pain.
