Rats gain sixth sense and brain-to-brain communication

a team of researchers hooked stuff up letting rats sense infrared (with the part of their brain that senses touch) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-21459745

that same team, in cooperation with others, connected one rat's brain to another rat's brain (and then a third to make sure) and rats that hadn't been conditioned (taught) on how to make a water bottle work knew what to do, with no clues http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-21604005
