Actually, this is pretty interesting. They injected human stem cells into mice to get a realistic neurological model to study.

That's a link to an article stating that the mouse-brain study may be done in the future. My link shows it is now being done.

Not sure what your point was. My subject title was just to grab attention, as well as use the word "chimera," which, IMO, should be used more often in daily conversation.

Good day.

"Chimera" is cool.

I like "wench" and "buxom" myself as words that need to be used more.
