When lab rats sleep, their brains revisit the maze they navigated during the day, according to a new study (1) yesterday, offering some of the strongest evidence (2) that animals do indeed dream. Experiments with sleeping rats found that cells in the animals’ brains fire in a distinctive pattern (3) the pattern that occurs when they are (4) and trying to learn their way around a maze.

Based on the results, the researchers concluded the rats were dreaming about the maze, (5) reviewing what they had learned while awake to (6) the memories.

Researchers have long known that animals go (7) the same types of sleep phases that people do, including rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep, which is when people dream.

"We have as humans felt that this (14) of memory—our ability to recall sequences of experiences—was something that was (15) human," Wilson said. "The fact that we see this in rodents (16) suggest they can evaluate their experience in a significant way. Animals may be (17) about more than we had previously considered."

The findings also provide new support for a leading theory for (18) humans sleep—to solidify new learning. "People are now really nailing down the fact that the brain during sleep is (19) its activity at least for the time immediately before sleep and almost undoubtedly using that review to (20) or integrate those memories into more usable forms," said an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
