Mice Put Their Skills to the Test as They Play Virtual Reality Games
A new study has revealed that mice can play virtual reality (VR) games! Researchers developed an interactive VR environment that allowed mice to play a game resembling Pac-Man. The study, published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, showed that the mice learned how to play the game, indicating they had a basic understanding of the environment. The researchers found that the mice not only learned how to play the game, but also became better at it over time, suggesting they had a sense of spatial navigation. This study could have significant implications for understanding how the brain works and could lead to new treatments for neurological disorders.
