In a bid to find new ways to enhance motor skills in patients of Parkinson's disease, scientists at the University of Richmond, Virginia have trained rats to drive tiny car. A scientist named Kelly Lambert and her colleagues made a tiny electric car with the help of a plastic food container whose base was made of aluminium and steering wheel of copper. After a rat entered, and touched steering, the circuit would complete.
