   Are human brains similar to rat brains?

   • Maybe human and rat brains are more similar than we think. Humans use their hippocampus to navigate through familiar places, just like rats do. Try noticing it next time you walk to your classroom or go around your home - you do it without thinking or wondering where to go next, your brain just knows where to go.

   Are rats able to monitor the strength of their own memories?

   • Rats have shown that they have the ability to monitor the strength of their own memories, researchers from Providence College reported this month in the journal Animal Cognition. Brain scientists call this sort of ability metacognition. It's a concept that became famous in 2002, when then Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld explained to reporters:

   Is there a parallel between rats and humans?

   • Jared Smith and Kevin Alloway, researchers at the Penn State Center for Neural Engineering and affiliates of the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences, have discovered a parallel between the brains of rats and humans that signifies greater commonalities than scientists had previously known.

   Can a brain-machine interface tell where a rat thinks it is?

   • Or, perhaps they can— with clever technology. Researchers designed a brain-machine interface that hooks into a rat’s hippocampus, the region of the brain where memories of places are stored. By monitoring the neurons firing there, they can tell where a rat thinks it is.

   Can a rat imagine something that could happen?

   • After all, scientists can’t exactly ask a rat to envision something that could happen and have it tell them what it conjures to mind. Or, perhaps they can— with clever technology. Researchers designed a brain-machine interface that hooks into a rat’s hippocampus, the region of the brain where memories of places are stored.

   Rats use their imaginations in a similar way to humans, a new study shows – meaning their thoughts aren't always fixed on what's immediately in front of them, but can also travel in space and time. Small brains, big dreams.
