…it’s better to go running with rats?
But new research with rats suggests that running solo might not offer the perceived benefits and, in fact, may actually be bad for runners when combined with social isolation.
The scientists behind the study report that mice forced to live and run by themselves have less brain cell growth than those that get to run with other rats.
The implications for humans aren’t clear.
I don’t plan on finding any rats to go running with anytime soon.
