Researchers at Duke University have demonstrated for the first time an electronic link between the brains of pairs of rats. The link allowed the rats to communicate directly and solve simple tasks. A follow up research demonstrated a similar link ...
New Study Examines the Brain’s Wiring
Researchers from University of Southern California recently published a study that describes the communication between different parts of the brain. The new paper might help future researchers understand better the wiring of the human brain, although scientists conducted the experiments ...
Robotic Rats Will Aid in Rescue Missions
Scientists from Europe, Israel, and the USA are developing ‘robotic rats’ that will be able to aid in rescue operations and carry out planetary research missions. Nine research groups from seven countries are collaborating on this initiative, which was recently ...
Stem Cells to Rebuild Heart Tissue
Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent cells, cells that can transform and become any other cell in the body, and for this reason they can be used to heal or strengthen any human tissue. However, so far scientists have had difficulties ...
