X and Y conducted an undercover investigation in the summer of 1981 inside a primate research laboratory at the Institute of Behavioral Research in Silver Spring, Maryland. The researcher, Dr. Edward Taub, had cut sensory ganglia that supplied nerves to the monkeys' fingers, hands, arms, and legs, a process called "deafferentation," so that they could not feel them. He then deafferented their entire spinal column. He used restraint, electric shock, and withholding of food and water to force the monkeys to use the deafferented parts of their bodies. The aim of the research was to determine whether the monkeys could be forced to use the limbs, and whether this had an effect on the structure of their brains.
X & Y were disturbed by what they saw and they published a photo with the caption “Silver Spring Monkeys”. This caused an outrage and led X & Y to start Z. Today Z has grown in strength and is popular all over the world. Identify X, Y & Z.
