A new study reveals that the brain rapidly rewires itself to map rewarding experiences like food, even when the location of those rewards changes. Using virtual reality and real-time brain imaging, researchers observed how mice formed flexible "reward maps" in the hippocampus that updated within moments of reward relocation.
