Why do you laugh when you’re tickled? Scientists at Humboldt University of Berlin are studying rats to try and solve the longstanding mystery. Given the right conditions, and enough back and belly tickling by a researcher, ratscan come to associate a researcher's cotton gloved hand with the sensation of being tickled. Tickling makes them “giggle,” albeit in frequencies too high for human ears to hear. The rats develop a fondness for the human hands, chasing their scurrying fingers in circles. The scientists observe the rat ticklishness, and track how their brain processes the sensation, hoping to uncover clues about the laugh-inducing feeling.

"Professional rat tickler" has to be one of the best job titles out there.
Welp i would love to get this job, i love rats and they love me too.
THIS IS A JOB I NEED
👍😊
"We tickled rats and discovered they laugh."
Good job, scientists.
Its a very important discovery
@Blue Skeptic r/woosh take a joke dude
🤣
@Blue Skeptic Its called sarcasm
@Blue Skeptic You have skeptic in your name, so you don't get to say anything.
First time in history rats liked a science experiment.
not actually, wonder how many had to die in order to understand the brain pattern
TheKingSpartacus Finally, an experiment even PETA might approve! And FINALLY some good press for the BEST rodent pets!
TheKingSpartacus yeah. sad but its reality.
Liza Tanzawa gorgeous smart little beauties
+Irwin Palomo Exactly. What they weren't showing was how they were directly simulating the brain and taking readings on it... by cutting open it's head and sticking electrodes in it's brain.
"rats feel happy when they're tickled"
I- i don't know what i was expecting
TornadoAzulK4 i thought it would bite the hand or some shit
humans have a panic reaction to the tickling, we don't get happy per se, so maybe you expected a panic attack subconsciously?
If so, they seem to enjoy it.
i was expecting pee. that's what happens when i'm tickled
GOD BOSS Lol this comment made me choke on my drink lmao
I know that people's first reaction to this is generally going to be dismissive, and I don't really blame people for that. However, when you actually think about this for a bit longer you realize that this is actually a major discovery. It shows that our need for play has biological roots, and not just something that emerged through the advancement of culture and socialization (not to say that culture has no part in its development.)
It’s really weird people think play is exclusively human or animals we’ve domesticated. Many animals play to establish general rules like how hard they can play, who is too aggressive to be played with, how to hunt and social order. I assume many games children play like hide and seek, tag, and make believe establish something similar. Hide and seek teaches children how to look for things and hide, tag teaches endurance and make believe encourages creativity and storytelling.
Yes. Its yet another disproval of the blank slate theory(that everything is upbringing and environment and there is no instinct or base personality). Yet professors of the most prestigious universities still teach things based on the blank slate theory, such as critical gender theory.
Awesome
I think only a certain kind of person believes that animals don't have personalities or biological behaviors besides "instinct". Psychologists and biologists have been aware for a couple of decades now that brains are coded through hormones, and that all human behaviors are also the result of biology. Ergo, as animals also have brains and hormones, animals feel as well.
@@soulmask2781 your confusing what's natural vs what's socially constructed. Critical gender studies doesn't say having gender identity is made up. They say specific gender expectations are made up. Similarly, you can tickle rats to play and they will expect to get tickled. If you wrestle with them they will expect wrestling.
Imagine being a scientist, you just got out of grad school and you’re thrilled to begin your career and change the world. And then you get to tickle rats.
That’s the dream.
Tickling rats will cyange the world, imagine an army of rats chasing people's hands for tickles
Nah..
Here In Philippines, rats tickle humans in their bed while we sleep..
And boy we do make odd frequencies..
Lmao
Can confirm. Also the giant spiders that chase cockroaches.

Read this in Karkat voice XD
probably the luckiest lab rat there ever was lmao
"we're going to see what happens when we tickle you."
Yeah until they probe its brain to see what's going on. >.>
JPxKillz oh
LesbianWednesdays and then we shock you and see if that tickles, too.
Ah, so that means humans shouldn't use MRIs or CT scans either because we don't want to probe the brain to see what's going on. Got it.
They'll just use fMRI/CT/EEG to scan its brain, which are totally harmless and ethical ways for scanning brains.
"no animal harmed in this test. they loved it actually lol"
well beside the ones that had their skull open to stimulate their brain with electricity and then died of course
Ragimund VonWallat That didn’t involve this test
Dark Western.. brain itself doesn't squeak. It need a live rat attatched to it. Think before you post.
Notice how they recorded the high frequency vocalizations during electrical stimulation.
They did it on a live rat like i said brain itself doesnt vocalize think before you post im.becil
I love rats so much bruh
OMG ROBERT I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AAAAAAAA💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️
I never knew you'll be here!
I have 2 girl rats
They're so pure.
Hiiiiii
not to be dramatic or anything but I would die for these rats

Not dramatic, this is a reasonable response
These rats already dead fam rats only live 2-3 years

I live in NYC and tried this with a rat from the street. Now it’s teaching me how to do karate.
I recently tickled a rat and it taught me to cook some gourmet dishes
Buddy. Where did he ask you to touch him? Tell us more about these "lessons"
Pinhead Larry and maybe now you’re a carier of plague 👍
I tickled a rat at Hogwarts and he turned human.
My friend tickled a rat and then he started foaming out of the mouth I havnt seen him sence lol
It's 3 in the morning and I'm watching dudes tickle a rat....."for science."
Gj, NatGeo
Just realized that its
3:37 am after watching
Damn. 3:21. Cursed video.
The scientist needs approval! You're helping the science..
Same.
People: "Your POV, you had this in your recommended and you clicked on it."
Me: "Nope. I searched for it."
Gotta see a rat laugh.
"Scientists are cruel for testing on animals!"
Scientists: "ok" *proceed to conduct a thorough study on petting and tickling rats*
only animal testing that should be done
They put things in their brain surgically to monitor the activity when they were being tickled. They show it but just don't tell you they did that.

It's a step up from the usual rat experiments.
So you are saying that I get to tickle rats for science? I need this job
Hmm if you got a degree or hobby/interest in any kind of stuff, you can do your own research one things like this. Most of this kind of rat experiments are for us humans because humans don't or need something before they co-operate with a experiment.
Like a Dutch man working on the behaviors of animals etc; One day hey was drinking his coffee and watching outside of his workplace to watch; people/nature etc and saw a male duck while flying hit the glass window of his workplace and died lying on the ground, but then a other male duck appears and fucking the other male duck.
So the man had found a new behavior in Duck: Gay-Necrophilia. That day and win a noble.
To answer your question make your own job by be creative and think outside the box.
these rats will probably get dissected, if you like rats you dont want to work with lab rats
+john smith Frankly, most researchers that work with lab animals like animals. They want to hurt them as little as possible and need to know how to handle them correctly
TheRisingIcarus i would hope you are right
Not all scientists are evil bad guys who do freaky experiments on innocent animals :) They always search for ways to do as little harm, replace the animals (by cells or computer models)
The voice is so perfect for disney story telling.
My friend's rats respond to their names, love to chase string and get cuddles 🥰 When you pet them for a long time they'll turn around and groom you too, it's adorable! Sometimes when they get really excited they do this weird spaz out thing that reminds me of dogs doing zoomies
Cool, now I'm gonna try this on the subway rats. Wish me luck
Maybe one will bring you a slice of pizza as a thank you sign!
Might as well tickle Splinter's belly while you're at it.
Wait, I thought those were called people?!
Nanien so you're a rat?

I own 23 Rats. Can confirm that they love not only tickling, but love cuddles, kisses, if you sing to them, olay certain kinds of music for them, and play with them. Rats are very social, affectionate, and loving animals. I have one rat that I take on adventures with me. She has a house compartment on my backpack, with easy access in and out, and she will usually stay on my shoulder, and observe everything that I do. She 3specialy love kayaking and has learned what the word means and will get excited when I say it. It means she will get to kayak with me, and have the freedom of roaming the craft as i drift a lovely river. She even has a special bed, with a rain fly on the front of the kayak where she can lay and view the world around her, as we drift. She also enjoys car rides, and being with me. I encourage anyone interested in small animals, to adopt a Rat. They come in so many beautiful varieties, and all have unique personalities. I also study them. And have concluded that they are capable of thought & decision making. There are also various studies supporting this. Rats are wonderful & intelligent animals, requiring intellectual stimulation. Adopt one :)
I really would like to get rats but they make the whole place stink so bad
THIS IS THE PUREST THING EVER
its a shame that they don't live very long ;; they're such amazing pets
wait you kiss your rats...lol sry
They have a good live
Feels great to know that scientists are focusing on what’s *really* important
My 5 boys are very young so they're just starting to feel safe around people, and they seem to like being tickled. I played this video and they all came over to the side of the cage and stared lol. They also seem to realize I'm "deaf" because I talk to them a lot and they're very vocal within a range I can hear. Not sure how they learned that, but I've never had a more vocal group. They recognize different words- they learn faster than any dog I've ever worked with. Rats are amazing.
Nice to see rats get experimented on through tickling rather than some brutal drug trial or something
yeah but then it stopped being a nice experiment they stimulated it's brain with electricity..
raspberryice, how do you figure they stimulated the inside of its brain with electricity? just because they didnt show video of that part of the experiment doesnt mean it didnt happen :)
Danval1023 deep neural stimulation isn't that bad. they do it to people too
Lets be honest, just because we know what tikling does to humans dosent mean that we can tickle rats without a risk. They are just to different organisms compare to humans. RATS MY DIE FROM THIS!! :)
Yeah
They make awesome pets. They are so intelligent aswell but they do love cuddles and tickles. They also like mazes. We used to create a maze and then watch it find it's way through the maze. Also happen to be super cute.
How do you deal wih their poos?
@@hazri8758 its not that bad
@@hazri8758 theyre usually small little pellets and dry quickly, its the pee that gets to be an issue cause that soaks into stuff
@@hazri8758 like you deal with any other pet's poo, you pick it up
Literally the worst thing about them is that they have very short lifespans...
Rat: where did my new best friend goes
Rat 1 year later: and that’s when all the depression started
Rat's laugh. I had a rat and he loved getting his toes tickled and he smiled while laughing. He asked for more everytime. I thought maybe he thought it was a loving activity. I loved it too because it made me feel good as well. Maybe someday I will get a pet rat again. I do love them. ❤️👍
Next see what happens if the rat tickles you. In the dark. In your bed.
poohoff its happened to me. I just hug my rat and go back to sleep
A Kayfabe LOL
lol
It would be dead
fak no thinking about it make me sick :D
Rats can be tickled?
What am I even doing here I should be studying
i wsa looking up what kind of new graphics card i should get, and here i am 2 hours later looking at cute racoon and rat vids.
You ARE studying... You just learned how to tickle rats, for science!
Flarehoodviperart Too late now
Flarehoodviperart This is studying.
Same here, have a chemistry exam tomorrow and I'm watching a rat being tickled
This is the only testing that should be done on ANY living being!
Also, this is adorable!
this is actually adorable
If any of you are thinking about getting rats after this, make sure you get *two or three at least*. Rats need each other in order to *thrive* and be *happy*
Do they have a 2 for 1 deal?
Most mammals do
I had a pet rat for years, and I just had one. He was happy.. dont know what you are talking about
Michael Rogers I just wanna know how I managed to find you in the comment section of a random video that popped up on my suggestions...

This is probably the best a rat has ever had it in a scientific experiment.
How about lab rats tested with Heroin?
I stand corrected.
**falls of chair laughing**
CzarPeppers usually they'd be giving the rat cancer or aids or some shit
Yeah, except for that whole "stimulated the brain region electrically" thing. It was going great with the tickling, and the hand chasing, and then one day the little guy had electrodes stuck in his tiny head and was wondering what WTF? We're TICKLE BUDDIES DUDE!

Aizz Gamer imagine that for a sec tho... Rat laughing in the corner for sometime then chases hand
Aizz Gamer And you were actually right xD
One of the most important questions in the world
I have a pet rat and he definitely does this! I can only hear him once in a while, but he keeps going towards my hand and loves to be tickled on his belly!
I encourage this type of research. I will not be happy till every rat is tickled.
How do you know that these particular rats are kept in small cages? Perhaps they are well treated. It's not good to assume. Plus if those rats were suffering such a condition, their energy and eagerness would be much lower than the video shows.
Remember that every lab is different, and each carries out its experiments and research uniquely.
Lol
Paul Martinez just tickled my two rats. Happy? XD

I guess laughter serves the same purpose, to reinforce social bonds. Laughing at something funny together is the verbal equivalent of tickling someone
Lead scientist: so how much do we have on cancer research
Other scientists: uhh we tickled some rats
Lead scientist: GOOD ENOUGH
@Ig-nat-ius Galileo Galilei would disagree
the ovjective is for not study tickling is for study the brain of animals or other thing reclated too this
Cenoura it’s a joke I understand not all scientists research the exact same thing
@@tiagosales3373 r/woooosh
Scientists don't need to study a cure for cancer, people just need to start living less toxic lifestyles. It's boggles my mind that people eat junk, drink alcohol and coffee and don't exercise and then complain they don't understand why they got cancer and other illnesses. All cancer is is a build up of toxicity in the body. We can prevent it ourselves, we don't need tests on animals to cure a disease easily prevented.
Scientist: "It appears like the rat enjoys being tickled and its actively looking for the hand"
Rat: "Dang it, my back itches. Where is that guy who was scratching me?"
In all technicality, the researcher didn’t do the equivalent of scratching it. It was too light-
Scratching it would give a different response (ex, trying to groom the researcher’s hand)
Or at least, that’s what I’ve noticed from personal experience.
P0keTheArtist I uh... I am pretty sure he was joking? Why ruin a joke? Just let him be funny.
+Christopher Wilson
My sense of humor is explaining why other people’s jokes are incorrect and then waiting for the responses to tool in. I have an odd sense of humor-
P0keTheArtist boo
P0keTheArtist probably not many friends too
People joke how this isn't important research, but I beg to differ. It shows that rats operate on a more similar emotional level than we previously thought, meaning showing these animals more kindness is the morally correct response.
"So what's your job?"
"Well..."

This has gotta be the cutest thing I’ve seen. Mice and rats may be cute, but they aren’t so cute when they scamper across your room in 2 seconds.
I love rats, I rescued 2 a couple of years back... at first they were very traumatised from their previous owner. They were shy and didn't like cuddles, they would bite if anyone apart from me put their hand in their cage.
After having them for 2 months, I had trained them to be tame and friendly things. I used to tickle them lots, they adored it. They would cuddle me if I was sad and then eventually respond to their names: Sylvia and Davina.
I would never harm any animal, every creature has a place in my heart.
I don't know why people hate mice and rats so much, I think they are cute!
D. Freeman they are!
D. Freeman you got problems
D. Freeman same. As long as they dont live in poop and piss, I think they're cute!
I think it's because they spread disease. I'm also less disgusted in them since I got a hamster and they look similar ish. Hamster are really clean tho.

L E G E N D 2 7 tell me more how it isn't funny dipshit?
Notice that they didn't show when they did the brain measurements. They likely implant electrodes in the brain and then they kill them.
This is going to be a downer, but they probably surgically implanted a probe in that region of the brain to measure it, and then provide a gentle shock to stimulate it.
The only acceptable animal testing
A lot of vaccines was and is being tested in animals before humans, that helps to save a lot of children around the world, i think thats acceptable too.
Doug 9000 - I don't. Why test on innocent animals when we have full jails of pedophiles to test on?
planet penitentiary I know people can be stupid but i didn't know they can be THAT stupid.
Doug 9000 vaccines did prevent a lot of diseases and deaths, however ,yes there are those unfortunate cases where it caused brain dmg, I personally know one guy(autism)....
so... not cool Abby Slater not cool
So true. Animal testing it cruel and redundant, and absolutely unethical. We need to stop commodifying and exploiting other sentient beings for our own interest; karma watches.
Hello to everyone who looked this video up because they vaguely remember hearing about it years ago
Rats: DID I TELL YOU TO STOP!!!!
i have owned 6 rats. they are brilliant. never keep a rat alone, for when it is without your attention, it will be depressed. always adopt rats in pairs so they have a playmate when you are at school or work, as they literally will miss you when you are gone.
i loved my rats but you must research and have thorough understanding on how to maintain their environment and manage their health. husbandry is just as key with rats, because they are up there with the intelligence of young dolphins and are much smarter than the average house canine.
you must understand what rats want and need. they are very intelligent and do not need litter training, they will instantly figure out what you would like them to do if you know how to condition them. they also do not need to be bathed. your rats will clean themselves at least three to five times a day, and they need a partner of the same gender to accomplish this and be truly comfortable in their environment. rats will suffer if lonely, and can easily be driven to insanity and perform self-mutilation if you are not taking care of them.
treat your rats like your friends, or do not get rats period.
mice =/= rats. mice are smart but very, very difficult to train in comparison to rats. also do not adopt rats from different litters if you can help it. if you must do this, seperate them temporarily with cagewire of some kind until they adapt to one another and it will be easy to observe whether they will bond or if they will not.
please read a book before adopting rats. they are the best possible small house pet. i loved my rats and they live about 2-3 years and are my #1 recommended house pet but are not fit for anyone under the age of 16 in my personal opinion. neglect will cause your rats to be displeased and forgetting to water them is subjecting them to torture, for example. hamsters are not like rats, rats need to be handled with equal care but are much more docile and i prefer them to hamsters and even guinea pigs.
please take very good care of your rats if you watch this video and immediately go find a new pet. there are good videos on how to do it but watch them beforehand please. rats are not for everyone, and do not get mice; get rats or you will be sorry. they are much harder to train even for professionals.
🙂🙂🙂
my ass hurts
I had 8 rats, but 7 of them died now, but the last one actually can handle being alone, but I give him alot of attention ;)
Trouncer I bought a rat because of pity. And I had already bought a cage because I wanted to get 3 rats like a month before I saw her. I was just in time to save her because she was alone and scared and the cage she was in had nothing in it so she couldn't hide and she couldn't cuddle with other rats. She's still very scared and shy but she's getting better. I also bought two other rats so she isn't alone anymore.
Trouncer very informative, I miss my old rat's.
now i want my own rat for tickling
I got 4 of them :p they LOVE it ^^

Pet rats are adorable! They don't have diseaces and are smart
Me too my rat was the best
Ya boi Sundae I know your just kidding.
Right?
The rat be like what should i do when i have been caught and i have nothing else to do.
