This may be a career path for Botballers who really hate rats....

Thanks for sharing, but, wouldn't you rather test antidepressants on rats than humans? Even though the brains of rats are wired differently. They lack a powerful frontal lobe so it might now even work for humans. If I am correct, rats have an amygdala, a small frontal lobe, no temporal lobe, and a few others. But the rat has underdeveloped brain parts.

I do believe this is true, however it is still a very impressive discovery. This is on the path of a ground breaking discovery. This can be incredibility helpful in the future.
