Maybe the investigators run too much?

An excerpt from "Mouse Study Suggests Too Much Running Can Dull the Brain":

"They ended up with 30 generations of exercise freaks, each generation more addicted than the last.
Some of these superachievers ran for more than 20 kilometers every night over a seven-day period."

No brain, no pain!

The mice in here do just fine in mazes. It's finding other mice willing to mate with them, where our
mice fail miserably.

Yep That's it no more running for this rodent!!

1. Is this what happens to people on treadmills? I knew there was a reason I avoided those things 😉

2. What did the mice have to look forward to after the maze? Maybe they were deliberating getting
"lost" to avoid boredom and having to run on the wheel / treadmill again.

3. What would have happened if the mice were put in a trail running setup - with lots of pleasant
sensory inputs? Hmmm, I'll bet they really *would* try to not get done then and have to go back
to wheel. Maybe that's the problem I have on my maze-like trails and taking wrong turns 🙂
