Ben the rat is alive and well and living in Philadelphia!

According to a June medical journal report, a team of researchers in Philadelphia recently found that laboratory rats could learn to order water for themselves by imaging it. The researchers discovered which areas of the rats' brains were activated when a rat appeared to be thirsty and rigged a robot water reservoir to open by an electrical charge for those brain areas. Scientists believe the breakthrough will eventually enable humans to move artificial limbs by mere willpower.
