166 exercise to try and tease out the method in which
167 spatial data was stored in that area of the brain. I
168 find this promising because it shows that simulated
169 worlds are still clear enough for a simple rat to
170 navigate --- they don't just have meaning from our
171 own highly advanced imaginations. I want to see if a
172 rat can reasonably grow up if it lives its entire
