A recent preprint analyzing donated brain tissue from deceased people detected ... Though the findings need replication in humans—our blood vessels are larger than mice's—they do offer “a focused ...

This developing technology has been used on mice, with the hope that these light-up molecules can help illuminate how viruses replicate or even how memories form in the brain. Flora Litchtman talks ...

Researchers at Brown University and Cincinnati Children’s found that suppressing opsin 3 in the brain of mice makes them eat ...

After a week of stress, mice show changes in how their brains process sound, reducing how well they perceive loud noises, ...

The brain of humans and other animals is known to contribute to the protection of the body from infections. Past studies have ...

Researchers led by Zhentao Zhang at Wuhan University, China have discovered a cholesterol metabolite that plays a critical role in the development of Parkinson's disease in mice.

Researchers used mice with nine different genetic backgrounds to identify factors influencing eye aging, paving the way for eye-based diagnostics for neurodegenerative diseases.

Vision changes are an inevitable part of aging, but why are some more susceptible to age-related eye diseases and why do some individuals experience more severe decline than others?

In a lab at Rockefeller University in New York, a mouse squeaks. But this is no ordinary squeak. It is a strange, complex ...
