Decoding the Brain: Lab Mice Embrace Natural Experiments
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Nature.com
Neuroscientists are developing more naturalistic experiments to study animal and human behavior, aiming to gain a more holistic understanding of the brain. These experiments differ from traditional laboratory setups and focus on behaviors such as escaping predators or finding food. By studying these natural actions, scientists hope to decode the brain in a way that is more relevant to everyday activities.
