Cyborg rats tests could fix brain damage in humans

Cyborg rats tests could fix brain damage in humans

Dr. Frankenstein's monster is famous for having different parts of cadavers sewn together, functioning after being animated with plenty of energy from a lightning strike. Well, here on planet earth, scientists are testing cyborg rats, hoping that through these tests, they might be able to discover a method of fixing brain damage in humans in due time. The rat itself will lie motionless on a sterile, spotless table, kept alive albeit being heavily sedated. Electrodes are used to simulate its brain, resulting in waveform readings on a nearby computer display.
