MIT Engineers World's First Schizophrenic Mice
Frosty Piss writes "MIT researchers have created a schizophrenic mouse that pinpoints a gene variation predisposing people to schizophrenia. Research with the mouse may lead to the first genetically targeted drugs for the disease, which affects 1 percent of the population worldwide. This is the first study that uses animals who demonstrate an array of symptoms observed in schizophrenic patients to identify specific genes that predispose people to the disease."
Pinky (or was it the Brain?) was the first schizophrenic mouse.
The mouse was seen using an axe hacking through a mouse sized door, shouting .. "Here's Pinky!"
My grandfather is a left-handed schizophrenic mouse, you insensitive clod!
I read it as "Some group of MIT Engineers are the world's first schizophrenic mice"
The actual article is interesting, but not NEARLY as interesting as it could have been.
(it is early still)
Doesn't really matter - you can swap the button mappings in the driver settings.
Meta will eat itself
Great. Now I know why MIT engineers smell bad.
(Either that, or the mice think they're engineers.)
Wait. Are we talking about a mouse, or a guy with an iPhone at Starbucks?
Where are we going to find a hippo, 5 gallons of grease, and a tutu, at this time of night?
