Chinese scientists have created “cyborgized” rats that perform better on maze tests than normal rats and a computer algorithm. It’s an exciting proof-of-concept that heralds the potential for “cyborg ...

A team of Chinese scientists have managed to create a cyborg rat that has demonstrated impressive efficiency at solving mazes. To create the cyborg rodent, the rat was implanted with electrodes in the ...

The rat in a maze might be one of the most classic paradigms in the study of behaviour, but an international team of scientists has put a twist on this experimental motif to push the leading edge of ...

Call them oil droplets with a brain or even "chemo-rats." Scientists have developed a way to make simple oil droplets "smart" enough to navigate through a complex maze almost like a trained lab rat.
