Rats have an imagination, too, researchers show with brain implants
Rats think of objects and places that are not directly in front of them, a key requirement for remembering the past and imagining the future.
Our minds have a weird and wondrous way of transporting us to other places and times. You might find yourself, for instance, immersed in the vivid world of a novel, or reminiscing about a potluck with close friends.
These reveries can feel magical, but they’re the result of complex electric signals zipping through the brain. Now a new study shows we’re not the only ones with an imagination.
