Our research revealed that rats learned to drive forward by grasping a lever akin to a gas pedal, showcasing their surprising ability to navigate toward rewards.
The findings indicated that rats in enriched environments, with toys and social interactions, demonstrated quicker learning and driving skills than those in standard cages.
This project highlights how driving, much like other skills humans developed over time, offers insights into neuroplasticity and how animals adapt to new challenges.
The rats’ unexpected enthusiasm for driving training underscores the innate capability of their brains to acquire skills in response to engaging tasks.
