Mind Control : How rats are shaping neuroscience | GEDEON DOC

#neuroscience #laboratoryrat #brainresearch

For over a century, one small creature has shaped our understanding of the human brain: the laboratory rat. With this animal model, scientists have explored emotions, fear, decision-making, and the biological roots of human behavior.

Today, neuroscience raises unprecedented questions: Will we be able to read minds? Control emotions? Operate machines with thought alone? Or be controlled remotely?

Before us, rats are the ones crossing these scientific frontiers. This film retraces their scientific journey and reveals how they became essential partners in the exploration of the brain and the behavior of living beings. A captivating investigation into the technological, philosophical, and ethical challenges of the future.
