Great news: we're excellent at curing mice of diseases. All this time we've been trying to find drugs that have the same effect in humans as they do in mice, but until now no one has had the insight or bravery to ask the question, "What if we just made people more mouse?" Exciting stuff.

oh, I guess there's nothing to be concerned about.

Does this remind anyone of that novel Flowers for Algernon..?

I feel like it's going to be difficult to characterize how mental illness translates to mice, even if you get human cells in there. ("psychiatric disorders" = mental illness)

Sounds like “the scret of NIMH” an animated movie from the 80s, where intelligent mice escape a science lab.
