unfortunately the study says nothing about the impact on behavior. some mice "traveled farther" or "spent more time in the center" but no behaviors were reported that had meaningful implications on human behavior.
I think that’s not something you can usually extrapolate from mice, way too different. The interesting part is only that it resulted in some behavior changes.
