In neuroscientist Kelly Lambert's lab at the University of Richmond, rats hop into cars, rev their engines, and skid across the floor of an arena.
What they show us is that the majority of the lab rats seem to prefer driving to their Froot Loops to walking to them.
Kelly Lambert highlights the significance of the journey over the destination, emphasizing how anticipation influences the brain and behavior of the rats.
She notes the broader implications of these findings, suggesting that optimism in decision-making processes is beneficial not just for rats, but for humans as well.
