According to a new study from Yale University, a newborn mouse can be dreaming of their future. Researchers discovered spontaneous waves of retinal activity in the brains of mice pups shortly after birth, but before opening their eyes. These patterns are very comparable to what would happen in a mouse s brain if it had its eyes open and was moving forward towards its environment.
But these newborn mice have never been exposed to the outside world, this type of exercise trains the mouse to respond to their environment faster than they would otherwise be able to. According to the study, having such a skill is a matter of life and death.
