The researchers injected the human tissue into the rats’ somatosensory cortexes — regions that receive and process sensory information like touch or pain. After about two weeks of training, the rats began to lick a spout in search of water whenever the researchers stimulated the human neurons (they did this using blue light lasers). The researchers also used a puff of air to prod the rats’ whiskers, then observed how the human neurons responded.
After the transplants, he said, the human neurons grew to six times their original size over about eight months, making up roughly one-third of a single hemisphere in the rat brains.
The rats didn’t show signs of health issues like seizures or epilepsy, which the researchers had worried might arise. More than 70% were alive one year after the transplants.
The study is the latest example of an attempt to transplant human cells into animals. This line of scientific inquiry started decades ago, and some past tries have been successful: In 2006, developmental biologist Ali Brivanlou and a team of researchers at The Rockefeller University showed that they could grow human embryos in mouse tissue. Then in 2013, a group of Belgian researchers transplanted human neurons into newborn mice, creating functional brain circuits.
In 2018, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies implanted human brain-like structures in mice, producing results similar to the Stanford study. But they used adult mice, whereas the Stanford researchers chose newborn rats in order to see how the human neurons integrated with the rodents’ developing brain circuits.

Rat + Human = Politician
They stopped being interested in food, and began incessantly checking their teeny tiny little cell phones that were given to them.
Oh, brave new world....
Ok. So how much did this idiocy cost and what do they hope to accomplish?
Where did they get the human neurons?
As in the days of Noah ...
The world is getting sicker and sicker. God help us.
the rats began to lick a spout in search of water whenever the researchers stimulated the human neurons
So did they become Democrats or stop being Democrats?
Where did they get the human neurons?

Probably
Baby parts r us division of
Planned deParenthood.
I hear they have a new side gig in Calif
Planned Genderhood.
Building better democrats. Ones with actual partially human brains.
That's more like it.
Rats stood on their hind legs and had James Cagney accents and said “You dirty humans.”
lol...
As in the days of Noah ...

Back then it took fallen angels mating with humans ..
( that then we’re thrown on the pit till the great whitethrone judgement)
to create a nephiliam.
Nowdays,,, we make nephiliam for the fallen angels...
so they don’t have to thrown in the pit till the end
this might be what scripture was aluding to
when it said the days had to be cut short or no flesh
( original human flesh ? )
would survive.
Maranatha please.
Hummmmm
If it works on rats, it may work on D’rat politicians.
Truly truly we live for hope.
For those who don't know the back story.
This is how the democrats will use in the 2044 Presidential election.
