  • Negri bodies! I had never seen these before, too bad youtube doesn't allow better resolution on the videos. You've got a new subscriber!

  • because humans have different responses to same stimulus than animals.

    If you have a headache, you may get cranky, go to sleep, or just say "my head hurts". If your dog has a headache, then the only way to express discomfort is to be aggressive.

    Add that rabies messes with normal brain tissue, and of course human brain is more developed than other animal's.

    With all, there have been cases of rabies where a human got into rage, especially when the rabies takes time to kill you.

  • Your point is very clear, and I couldn't agree more. Nature is wise.

    Maybe the reason the virus doesn't cause rage in all human cases is because it simply isn't intended to infect humans, it's easier to infect non-civilized animals.

  • I agree, but I also think the reason it causes rage, not necessarily in humans, but in most other mammals, is because of the evolutionary path of the virus. In order for the virus to be spread you have to be bitten/scratched by an infected animals. So, naturally, the best way for the virus to survive is to attack the brain in such a way to induce the host animal to bite by causing it rage. I may have worded that incorrectly, but I hope my point is clear.

  • Go to school maybe?

  • thanks for the info!

  • Any Possible cure being developed?

  • what i want to know is how it makes animals go in to rage but not humans

  • I think the section might be in across the hippocampus, as you may see the dentate gyrus extending across the right at lower magnification. I might be wrong..

  • English Please
