Horizontal biases in rats’ use of three-dimensional space

Horizontal biases in rats’ use of three-dimensional space

► Rat spatial behaviour was compared between horizontal and vertical dimensions. ► In both foraging and detour tasks, rats preferred horizontal over vertical movements. ► Rats also preferred routes where the horizontal leg occurred first rather than last. ► A horizontal bias is energetically adaptiv...
