Scientists have discovered that rats dream



Scientists say they have managed to become one step closer to unlocking the secrets of dreams. At least, so say neuroscientists from the US, who conducted experiments on krysah.

Experimental animals had to look for food in the maze, relying on certain tones. One was responsible for the sound of the right side, the second - the left. Neuroscientists say rodent relatively quickly mastered nauku.

When the rats were resting, they connect to multiple devices, among which was the fixing of neuronal activity. Compare all the results, scientists have established themselves in the thought that their wards dreamed of the day's work is in the maze. A supply of the above-mentioned signals evoked memories during sleep associated with certain marshrutami.

Scientists are not going to stop there, because the ability to change the dream, playing with memory and perception - too interesting case. In the yard - 21, and the world still does not know too much about the science of sleep. Now, researchers intend to make their manipulation with rat sleep more subtle: they want to learn how to convert it.
