In Dr. Sergiu Pașca's research lab at Stanford University, the resident rats have clumps of human cells in their brains. Blow on a rat's whiskers and the human cells on the opposite side of ...

The Stanford researchers attempted to address this by running a battery of tests to compare the memory and anxiety level of animals that received the human brain organoids versus regular lab rats.

When lab-grown clumps of human neurons are transplanted into newborn rats, they grow with the animals. The research raises some tricky ethical questions. Human neurons transplanted into a rat’s ...

Letting human brain organoids grow in animal brains could be an ethical new option for experimental studies of neurological disorders. Using this technique, scientists should be able to create new ...

The approach involves transplanting a cluster of living human brain cells from a dish in the lab to the brain of a newborn rat, a team from Stanford University reports in the journal Nature.

In the lab, scientists can nudge these cells down ... Deep inside the rat’s brain, human and rat cells connected in the thalamus, the area critical for sleep, consciousness, learning, memory ...
