So that suggests that they're at least approaching something and that's usually related to something they like. And as we're putting them into the driving arena before they even hit the rat road, they start activating the lever and it sounds like they're revving up the engine.

Yeah. So approach is one way that a behavioral scientist like myself could understand that. I wanted to explore it a little bit more definitively with that small group. So they had only been able to access the Froot Loop tree in their car in the past trainings.

But I asked my students to let them get into the arena without the car and just see that they could clearly just walk down to that Fruit Loop tree. So the test in this preliminary study was to put the car at one end of the arena, as we always had done. The Fruit Loop tree was in the other end, and we put the rat outside of the car just in the middle of the arena.

So the most efficient way to get to the Fruit Loop would be to simply walk or run to the Fruit Loop tree, eat all the Fruit Loops you want. One rat consistently did this. We have individual differences with rats, and I love that. That's the smart one. Yeah. Two of the rats, they hesitated.

They turned around, saw the car, and not walked, but kind of ran to the car, jumped in, and drove to the Froot Loop tree. Not once, not twice, but day after day, they are preferring. to drive to the Froot Loop tree as opposed to walk to it. That driving increased the anticipation.

Yeah, I developed a whole, and with my colleagues, a whole new protocol looking at I call it unpredictable positive experience responses. So at random times during the day, we're giving them these positive experiences so they never know when it's coming and and then they have to wait for it. So I'm really trying to ramp up anticipation for something good.

And we are starting to write up our initial data, but it's looking like we are indeed sculpting their brains differently, their behaviors, their vocalizations, whether or not they're happy or sad calls. And so if I think about my life, If we're looking forward to a vacation with a family and you're thinking and planning, it's rare that the actual event meets all those expectations.
