team of University of Tokyo researchers led by professors Hitoshi
Sakano and Ko Kobayakawa have announced they have genetically
engineered a mouse that does not fear cats, simply by controlling its
sense of smell. By tweaking genes to disable certain functions of the
olfactory bulb — the area of the brain that receives information about
smells directly from olfactory receptors in the nose — the researchers
were able to create a "fearless" mouse that does not try to flee when
it smells cats, foxes and other predators." - blogged by PinkTentacle.com<br><br><a href="http://www.thoughtware.tv/videos/show/1010">Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)</a><br>"PBS multimedia on a surgical treatment involving the implantation of a medical device called a brain pacemaker, which sends electrical impulses to specific parts of the brain.
