Your commute to work may seem like a mundane thing, but it is a great example of the complicated tasks our brains must carry out on a daily basis: navigation, memory, decision-making, sensory processing, and so on.

However, many of the tasks used to study learning in mice are not "natural"—they are not behaviors that a mouse might do in the course of its life.
