vue - virus injection in mouse brain

1. For everyone freaking out about this, these animals are under anesthesia during the surgery so they are not awake and do not feel pain, and they are given pain-killers after the surgery to minimize pain after the surgery is done. The virus does not harm the animals because the point of the virus is to make a protein which can help tell you the function of different brain regions. The virus itself does not cause a disease. For example, the virus can cause the brain to make a protein where, when you shine a light on it, the brain cells become active (google optogenetics). Then you can have the mouse do different experiments and see what effect activating the brain region has on the mouse and how the mouse acts. Experiments like this can tell us more about how the brain works and how we might make better drugs for brain diseases like Alzheimer's.
   
   Also, thanks for the informative video.

9. Disgusting. They're not any better than nazis who tested on humans "for research". The nazis justified it by saying Jews were subhuman/inferior. Humans justify animal testing because non-human animals are "inferior" to us.
10. Why are you giving the mice a virus? For research???
11. 😢i was serching up rat care not mouce brain sergery
12. Thank you for the video! Can you tell me where to get the following items: 1) the specific heating pad in the video? 2) the rodent warmer? 3) microinjection unit specifically the needle? Is that a Hamilton syringe attached to some kind of needle?
