Rats bop their heads to rhythm!

The list of non-human animals that can keep a beat just got a little longer! Researchers at the University of Tokyo detected rats boping their heads to Lady Gaga and Queen. As with other non-humans, this ability was decidedly limited, but does point to something that lies deep in our evolutionary past. The researchers conclude: "...latent neural propensity for auditory motor entrainment may provide a basis for human entrainment that is much more widespread than currently thought. Further studies comparing humans and animals will offer insights into the origins of music and dancing."
