Interesting article on how they really exhaustively mapped a rats brain...

"The researchers could interpret the memories through electrodes inserted into 
the rats’ brains, including into special neurons in the hippocampus. These 
neurons are known as “place cells” because each is activated when the rat 
passes a specific location, as if they were part of a map in the brain. The 
activation is so reliable that one can tell where a rat is in its cage by 
seeing which of its place cells is firing."
