   The MIT found new aspects of mice intelligence. 

The new aspect in mice intelligence tells that the new systems like MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) and X-ray-based Synchroton-radiation X-ray tomographic microscopy or CT scanners can find many new things in the well-known species nervous systems. 

The ability to produce single electron-positron pairs makes it possible to create very short-term X-ray impulses. And those impulses are not so harmful to tissues. That ability is a key element in X-ray stroboscopy. That allows researchers to make X-ray images of very short-term reactions. 

Today we know that the size of the brain is not important when we measure intelligence. The number of neurons and neural connections determines the intelligence of species. The small size doesn't automatically mean a short life. Another thing that determines many things in a creature's survivability, is the ability to learn things. 

"A recent MIT study on mouse behavior in reward-based tasks showed that mice, while capable of learning the best strategy, often deviate from it, suggesting a complex decision-making process. This finding, using a new analysis tool called blockHMM, has potential implications for neurological research, particularly in understanding conditions like schizophrenia and autism".

That means when the brain learns something it must create new network connections. And the ability to make connections determines how an organism learns things. 

When we think of cases where some surprise effect destroys a remarkable part of the mouse population. That action can cause more damage than benefits. 

In that case, only the most intelligent and flexible population remains. So in this case the poison or some other resistant actions breed the mice population, and only individuals that survive are genetically so strong that they learn to avoid poisons or other resistance actions. That should remove rodents from that area. But the question is how often and how fast the remaining individuals can transport the data about the threat to the genetic memory and transmit it to the descendants.  

Is there two class of calves in the mice population? Sexually born and virginally born. 

There have been some kind of suspicions that mice produce two types of descendants. Some of them are decoys. The glass-larvas or virginally born calf and we know this kind of behavior from squids and some reptilians. The first glass descendants are created after sex, and in that process, the virginally born mice have a mission to call predators after them. That should take the predator's notice away from the genetically stronger mice. This kind of behavior where sexually born calves are inside the virginally born population explains the success of mice. 

The fact is that we don't know much about the mice and how their nervous system acts. We use mice as test animals. But those populations are highly accurately cloned. That means we are not using natural mice as test animals, because in those laboratory tests test makers must eliminate the genetical background and other artifacts like differences in nutrients. When we think about mice and their natural behavior we must know more about those rodents if we want to fight against them.
