Human neurons have been transplanted into the developing brains of young rats for the first time. The human neurons can control the rats’ actions and the technique could be used to test new ...

Two independent research teams have successfully regenerated mouse brain circuits in mice using neurons grown from rat stem cells. Both studies, using interspecies blastocyst complementation to study ...

Two research teams have demonstrated that adding rat neurons to mouse brains that were missing crucial cells could help the organs to recover function 1, 2. The experiments could help scientists to ...

Mice lacking an olfactory system have had their sense of smell restored with neurons from rats, the first time scientists have successfully integrated the sensory apparatus of one species into another ...

Harvard researchers built a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) chip packed with 4,096 microhole electrode arrays, allowing them to record electrical activity across several neural cells.

In one experiment, rat neurons helped mice restore their senses of smell—the first time any animal has perceived the world through the sensory hardware of another species Will Sullivan Daily ...

Researchers identify "meal memory" neurons in laboratory rats that could explain why forgetting lunch leads to overeating. Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create ...

Chimeras, fictional creatures made up of a combination of body parts from different animals, such as the mythological Minotaur, have captivated thinkers, philosophers and scientists throughout history ...
