TAU researcher implants robotic cerebellum to repair motor function
With new cutting-edge technology aimed at providing amputees with robotic limbs, a Tel Aviv University researcher has successfully implanted a robotic cerebellum into the skull of a rodent with brain damage, restoring its capacity for movement.
The cerebellum is responsible for co-ordinating movement, explains Prof. Matti Mintz of TAU's Department of Psychology. When wired to the brain, his "robo-cerebellum" receives, interprets, and transmits sensory information from the brain stem, facilitating communication between the brain and the body.

Big deal - it’s already been done. We call it “Barack Obama”.....
Great, now we are going to have to deal with roboRATS....
Lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy!
DDT did a job on me
Now I am a real sickie
Guess I’ll have to break the news
That I got no mind to lose
All the girls are in love with me
I’m a teenage lobotomy
Slugs and snails are after me
DDT keeps me happy
Now I guess I’ll have to tell ‘em
That I got no cerebellum
Gonna get my Ph.D.
I’m a teenage lobotomy
computer aided Obamabots.
We already have rats with robot brains.
They’re called Democrats.

I KNEW IT!
That explains the scar on the head.
Someone post the pic of Obama head scars....
Great, just what we need - cyborg rodents.
Yep. Muslim science indeed.
I agree.
Compare total patents awarded to Jewish/Israeli inventors versus the total produced by muslims.
Then do a per-capita comparison!
No comparison!!!
A robot brain in a rat? Isn’t that the definition of Democrat?
OMG!!!
Ghost in the Shell!!!
It’s started already.
Can anyone photoshop Carville to illustrate this? It would be perfect...
