Rats taught to drive tiny cars to lower their stress levels (BBC)
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-50167812

Researchers at the University of Richmond in the US taught a group of 17 rats how to drive little plastic cars, in exchange for bits of cereal.
Study lead Dr Kelly Lambert said the rats felt more relaxed during the task, a finding that could help with the development of non-pharmaceutical treatments for mental illness.
