Rat tests
British and Swedish scientists have performed experiments on rats which suggest
that damaged brain functions could be restored by tissue transplants, “The Times” of London has reported. The scientists, at Cambridge and Lund Universities, destroyed the hippocampus, a part of the brain thought to help rats find their way through mazes, and transplanted new tissue, said the newspaper. They then discovered that the rats were as good of better at finding food in a maze than before.—London.
