Rats perceive the world with a complexity that modern artificial neural networks struggle to match. This is the finding of a recent study published in the journal Patterns by the Visual Neuroscience ...

A team of roboticists at the Beijing Institute of Technology, working with a pair of colleagues from the Technical University of Munich, has created a new kind of rat robot—one that was designed to ...

Researchers have developed a brain implant that augments the brain capacity of rats, boosting their ability to recall tasks. Reports Benedict Carey in the New York Times: Scientists have designed a ...

Recent advances in behavioural neuroscience have elevated the study of rodent models by utilising T-pattern analysis, a sophisticated multivariate technique that uncovers hidden temporal structures in ...

To accurately perceive the direction of moving objects, rats could exploit a small but very useful cluster of visual neurons, which seem to work in the same way as the “pattern cells” found in the ...
