Neuroscience discoveries ranging from the nature of memory to treatments for disease have depended on reading the minds of mice, so researchers need to truly understand what the rodents' behavior is ...

The team pinpointed the exact moment mice learned a new skill by observing the activity of individual neurons, confirming earlier work that suggested animals are fast learners that purposely test the ...

Touchscreen-based operant learning systems are widely used in behavioral neuroscience to assess cognitive function across various animal models, including mice. However, conventional training ...

Researchers have established the protein p53 as critical for regulating sociability, repetitive behavior, and hippocampus-related learning and memory in mice, illuminating the relationship between the ...

Geneticists have narrowed down the root of human language evolution after splicing our genes into mice to enhance their learning abilities. In the first study to investigate the cognitive effects of ...

Cognitive maps confer animals with flexible intelligence by representing spatial, temporal and abstract relationships that can be used to shape thought, planning and behaviour. Cognitive maps have ...

A single mutation in a gene, Kcnc3, which encodes a potassium channel in neurons, causes learning deficits in mice, researchers report in a new study. The novel mutation decreases the activity of ...

“Mind reading” often sounds like science fiction. But a new study shows it may only take a simple video. Researchers at the Champalimaud Foundation in Portugal discovered that mice’s facial movements ...

The p53 protein plays an important role in cell biology as it regulates the cell cycle and halts the formation of tumors. Scientists have long dubbed the protein p53 as the “guardian of the genome,” ...

FUKUOKA, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Japanese Plasmalogen Society (Office: Higashi-ku, Fukuoka, Japan; President: Yutaka Oomura) announced the research results that scallop-derived plasmalogens ...

Cutting-edge machine learning tools reveal hidden patterns in Alzheimer’s disease mouse behavior, opening the door to innovative treatments targeting neuroinflammation. Study: Machine learning reveals ...
