Scientists Trained Rats to Drive Cars Nov. 18,2019
Mice and rats have long been used in medical research because of their biological similarities to humans. The tiny animals have already shown an ability to recognize objects, push buttons and find their way through complex paths. Now, scientists have trained rats to drive small vehicles created for them. One of the main findings of the experiment was that the driving activity seemed to help the rats relax.

Researchers at the University of Richmond in Virginia led the experiment. Their findings were published in Behavioural Brain Research. The team built tiny cars out of plastic and other materials. The vehicles had an opening at one end where electrical wires were attached. By touching one of three different wires, the rat could steer the car in different directions - left,center and right. Sweet treats were placed inside the experiment

containers in an attempt to get the rats to drive the vehicle to get to the food.

Researchers trained 17 rats over several months to drive around the containers. The animals proved that they could be trained to drive forward as well as in other directions to get to the treats. Kelly Lambert of the University of Rich mond helped lead the experiment. She told the French news agency AFP the research suggests that rat brains may be more complex and flexible than once thought. As an example, Lambert said new driving test scould be created to test the effects of Parkinson's disease on motor skills and awareness of space.

If we use more realistic and challenging models,it may provide more meaningful data, she toldNew Scientist.
