The articles don't necessarily have to be in the medical field, its just that most of the ones that I know about it are in this area and this seemed like the broadest sub-forum available.
I'm looking for articles based on their novelty, their influence on you, their general interest factor, maybe some kind of quirkiness in their experimental design; basically anything that has caught your attention.

Lee, A., Clancy, S., Fleming, A.S., 1999. Mother rats bar-press for pups: effects
of lesions of the mpoa and limbic sites on maternal behavior and operant
responding for pup-reinforcement. Behav. Brain Res. 100 (1–2), 15–31.
These guys trained rats to gain access to baby rats by pressing levers. For me it was not such much that baby rats are reinforcing to mummy rats, although intriguing, but that these guys thought of making them press a lever to get access to them.

Just read a statement talking about the Noradrenergic system in the brain...
"First, this system contributes to the induction and maintenance of forebrain neuronal and behavioral activity states appropriate for the acquisition of sensory information (e.g. waking)."
Ha ha, consciousness and being awake are merely state(s) appropriate for the acquisition of sensory information. Aren't we staunch behaviourists!!!
