Researchers at Harvard and Emory University have created a biohybrid fish out of human heart muscle cells that can swim autonomously for months at a time as the cells beat. The project is a quirky sidestep on the way to eventually growing new functioni… Continue reading Biohybrid fish powered by beating human heart cells swims for 100 days

Scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) have managed to image the formation of memories inside the brains of live fish in real time. And the results were intriguing – synapses were seen forming in one part of the brain while disappear… Continue reading Live fish brain study reveals surprises about where and how memories form
One might think that certain animals are only able to navigate within the environment in which their species evolved. According to a new study, however, goldfish are quite capable of steering a land-based “car” toward a land-based target, in order to g… Continue reading Goldfish learn to drive a car to get food
