Paragraph 1
The term "rat
" may soon mean
rats racing in cars. This is because scientists have taught rats to drive
cars around a laboratory. Neuroscientist Dr Kelly Lambert has worked with the
since 2019. She told the news
"The Conversation" that the creatures learned to rev the
of their miniature vehicles, and they seemed to "get a
out of it". She said: "We found that the rats had an
motivation for their driving
, often jumping into the car and revving the…engine before their vehicles hit the
."
