Mice that experience the real world may be better models for human mental health conditions, compared with lab mice that ...

It’s tiny, but this lab mouse could have a mammoth impact. With curly whiskers and wavy, light hair that grows three times longer than that of an ordinary lab mouse, the genetically modified rodent ...

The lab mice we use for genetic studies are not only closely related, but live out their whole lives in a sterile environment, so they don’t tell us everything we need to know about actual humans. The ...

When scientists opened the doors of a research facility and let carefully bred lab mice loose into a fenced field, they expected skittish, fragile animals to struggle. Instead, the mice rapidly shed ...

A Cornell University team released lab mice that had previously lived in cages the size of a shoebox into a large, enclosed field.

There is a cellular energy molecule named NAD+ in the brain of mammals, which is essential for normal brain function. As a ...

Researchers have created genome-wide, high-resolution genetic maps of 100 inbred mouse strains. Compared with wild-derived strains, most of today's classical lab strains have limited genetic diversity ...

Li Zhang has anesthetized a lot of mice in his research career. Several years ago, the University of Southern California neuroscientist's team began noticing that sometimes, when they placed an ...

When we humans encounter an unconscious person, we might spring into action and try to revive them. Well, a new study in the journal Science hints that lab mice might do something similar. NPR's ...

This year could mark a turning point for one of science’s most familiar animals: the laboratory mouse. For decades, mice and ...

Should you be worried that your brain probably contains enough plastic to fashion a disposable spoon? Yes, new research suggests: you should. In a new study published in the journal Environmental ...

A new study finds that lab mice perform a suite of likely innate behaviors towards unconscious mice that help them revive faster. When we humans encounter an unconscious person, we might spring into ...
