Lashley's experiments on rats

Lashley’s experiments in the early 20th century involved training rats to navigate mazes to find food. After they learned the route, he surgically removed parts of their brains to see how it affected their ability to remember the maze. He discovered that memories aren’t localized to one specific brain area but are distributed across the brain. This suggested that even when parts of the brain are damaged, other areas can still help in recalling learned information, leading to advancements in our understanding of memory and the brain's intricate network.
