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

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.

Scientists stress out lab mice, a lot. Inducing chronic stress and anxiety in these furry critters is how scientists explore the bodily and cognitive effects of stress and discover anti-anxiety ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

New research suggests mice may exhibit revival-like behaviors to help unconscious mice recover faster. Lab mice may give 'first aid' to unconscious mates Li Zhang has anesthetized a lot of mice in his ...
