I’m a neuroscientist who taught rats to drive − their joy suggests how anticipating fun can enrich human life Equipped with a rodent version of a Cybertruck, these driving rats reveal that positive experiences may sculpt the brain just as powerfully as stressful ones

A neuroscientist who taught rats to drive cars argues the rats' positive experiences can enrich human lives too. 🐀 🚗 😮 #Neuroscience #Brain #ChangingBrains #RatsDrivingTinyCars #NISENet #Nisenetwork #Museums #Planetariums #InformalScience #ScienceCenters #ChildrensMuseums
