Shedding light on animal behavior: Rats can learn to play hide-and-seek just for fun, say scientists
In a recent breakthrough, scientists found that rats can be taught to play hide-and-seek just for the fun of it. The bizarre experiment, described in the journal Science, involved teaching rats both the hiding and seeking roles using social interactions and positive reinforcement. The German neuroscientists behind the experiment noted that the rats squeaked if […]

A new approach uses magnets to stimulate the brain’s working memory. Researchers at Duke University have recently debuted an experimental therapy called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) which applies a high-frequency magnetic pulse to the left prefrontal cortex […]

New study examines complexity of dolphin culture; researchers determine that brain size correlates with “human-like” behaviors and societies
In a major study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, the complexity of Cetacean culture and behavior has been linked to the size of their brains. Like other mammals, whales and dolphins have tightly-knit family groups called pods whereby they follow certain social structures and form complex relationships, similar to human societies. The research was a […]
