roborat is a rat controlled through implants in its brain. Guided rats controlled through implants in their brains could one day be used to search for landmines or buried victims of earthquakes.. An extraordinary experiment has seen researchers steering five rodents - so-called ratbots - through an obstacle course by remote control. Writing in the journal Nature‚ the scientists say the ratbots could reach places inaccessible to humans or machines. "One can think of the guided rat as a very

Running Head: Spatial Navigation in Rats Effects of Lesioned Red Nuclei on Spatial Navigation in Rats Abstract Through cerebellar research we have found that the cerebellum is involved in non-motor functions just as much as it is involved in motor functions. This study looked at the pathway from the cerebellum to the red nucleus to the thalamus into the cerebral cortex. Our hypothesis was that lesioning the red nucleus would show deficits like those seen in lesions of

Although these differences were not to the same scale as those visible in rats and pigeons they nonetheless provided evidence to support the temporal thought abilities of

Which rat had the fastest baseline metabolic rate? -------------------------The normal rat 2. Compare the baseline metabolic rates for the thyroidectomized rat and the normal rat and explain your results. The thyroidectomized rat had a lower baseline metabolic rate beause the removal of its thyroid gland prevented it from producing any thyroxine. 3. Compare the baseline metabolic rates for the hypophysectomized rat and the normal rat and explain your results. The hypophysectomized rat had a

the relief of spinal cord injuries. As experiments have been conducted‚ they have concluded that an opiate known as a morphine can be negative to the recovery of spinal cord injury. For example‚ when the rats where administered high-dosage of morphine‚ they seemed to delay recovery function of the rat. Studies have been closely examined ‚ to conclude such observation. The hypothesis that Hook et al. stated was that‚ organisms with spinal cord injury will endure negative side effects on recovery if morphine

the Researchers chose to use Rattus norvegicus (Sprague Dawley Rats) since rats are considered one of the most commonly used animals in the laboratory. Rat strain is created through breeding to produce rats that are similar to each other and can therefore be used in research. Wistar‚ Fisher and Sprague Dawley‚ and their hundreds of internal divisions‚ are examples of rat strains. Most laboratory rat strains descend from a colony of rats established at the Wistar institute in 1906. The Sprague Dawley
