Stuttering has mystified researchers for centuries, but a new mouse model that mimics speech patterns of humans who stutter has provided researchers with more insight on the disorder. In a study ...
Biologists have found that a simple interaction between just two genes determines the patterns of fur coloration that camouflage mice against their background, protecting them from many predators. The ...
Scientists have found novel patterns of ultrasonic vocalizations in a genetic mouse model of autism, adding a unique element to the available mouse behaviors that capture components of the human ...
The inside of a mouse’s nose looks chaotic under a standard microscope: millions of sensory neurons packed into a thin, mucus ...
For decades, neuroscience textbooks described the inside of a mouse’s nose as a loosely organized patchwork: olfactory ...
Paw prints of mice show defects in development caused by a mutation in ephrin-B3. Paws were marked with paint, and mice walked across a platform. On the left, a normal pattern of asymmetric steps was ...
In the understory of Central American cloud forests, musical mice trill songs to one another. Now a study of the charismatic creatures reveals how their brains orchestrate these rapid-fire duets. The ...
