Neuroscientist Colin Ellard knew he wanted to study animal habitats; it was choosing an animal that was tricky. After years observing Mongolian gerbils, he finally found the perfect creature.

For the past ten years, Ellard has studied how our brains and bodies react when we roam the streets of some of the world’s biggest cities, including New York, Mumbai and Berlin.
