I’m a neuroscientist who taught rats to drive − their joy suggests how anticipating fun can enrich human life

After we published our research, the story of driving rats went viral in the media. The rats also taught me something profound one morning during the pandemic. Had the rats always done this and I just hadn’t noticed? I had never seen this in my decades of working with rats. Neuroscientist Curt Richter also made the case for rats having hope. Lab rats frequently handled by humans swam for hours to days. Wild rats gave up after just a few minutes. It seemed that being rescued gave the rats hope and spurred them on. That’s a lesson my lab rats have taught me well. 🖊️
