Iceland Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Researchers at Stanford University have transplanted human neurons into rat brains, seen them mature into hybridized brain circuits and then used them to influence the rodents’ behavior. The work marks an impressive step forward for neuroscience, and could see rat brains serve as living laboratories for the study of cognitive disorders. “The researchers show that the human neurons, when activated, interfere with the rats’ behavior,” said Dr Jürgen Knoblich, Scientific Director Austria’s Institute for Molecular Biotechnology, who was not involved in the research. “The human cells functionally connect to the rat brain. This is the reason why the work is so outstanding.” Pasca describes this as the most advanced human brain circuitry ever concocted from human skin cells, and says the platform is the first to offer behavioral readouts for human cells in this context. With the ability to control and observe the effects on the rats’ behavior, the technology opens up exciting new opportunities for the study of neuropsychiatric disorders. https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2022/10/human-rat-brain-neuron.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering where nude mice evolved from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
