Pig Neurons in Human Brains? The 2025 Reality Check on Neuron Xenotransplantation—Breakthroughs, Risks, and What Happens Next

What exactly is neuron xenotransplantation? Neuron xenotransplantation is the transplantation of neurons or their precursors between species, most realistically from genetically engineered pigs to human patients. It’s distinct from allografts (human‑to‑human) and from organoid research that places human cells into animals for

  • GM takes second place behind Tesla in US non-Tesla EV sales for 2025; Equinox EV leads the pack
    January 8, 2026, 10:38 PM EST. GM took second place among non-Tesla EVs in the US in 2025, selling 169,887 units-up 48% from 2024 and more than twice Ford's 84,113. The best-selling non-Tesla model was the Chevy Equinox EV (57,945), followed by the Mustang Mach-E (51,630) and Hyundai IONIQ 5 (47,039). A Q3 peak of over 438,000 US EVs aligned with the $7,500 federal tax credit, which expired at quarter's end and cooled demand in Q4. Despite the pull-forward effect, full-year volumes rose versus 2024 as cheaper, more efficient models gained traction. Other notable models included: F-150 Lightning, Blazer EV, ID.4, Lyriq, i4, Q6 e-tron and more, with 2026 expected to reshape rankings as entry-level models reappear under $30k.
