The "living computer" was grown from 25' date='000 neurons extracted from a rat's brain and arranged over a grid of 60 electrodes in a Petri dish.[/b']

One rat? Crazy intelligent rats ahoy!

The question is, does it still know its a rat? Or does disassembling the individual neurons of a brain and then reconstructing them destroy the original "conscience"?

We'll soon know when the Seriously Strong cheese guys get rid of that shit Bond ripoff and replace it with a brain-in-a-plane [catchy non?] that detects truckloads of cheese and rams them off the road.
