Researchers identified two brain areas in mice that helped the animals learn to suppress their instinctive fears of predators Sara Hashemi Daily Correspondent Mice have an instinctive reaction to ...

We hypothesized that genes causing adult-onset neurodegeneration can influence acute outcome after CNS injury at immaturity and on the subsequent development of chronic disability after early-life ...

To do this, they conducted a series of experiments involving mice, specifically examining their insular cortex (IC), a brain region known to play a part in sensory perception and the maintenance ...

For the first time, scientists have used real-time imaging to track tiny pieces of microplastics as they moved through the brain blood vessels of mice. In experiments, the international team of ...

Recent studies show that hyperactivation of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling plays a causal role in the development of thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection. Modulation of PP2A ...

Resnik explains that the answer seems to be the latter: while stress does not change the actual signal sent to a mouse’s brain by its ears in response to a given noise, it does seem to change ...

Over time, the mice learned to stop escaping from the black spots. Based on previous work in the Hofer Lab, the team knew that an area of the brain called the ventrolateral geniculate nucleus ...

For the first time, scientists have tracked microplastics moving through the bodies of mice in real time 1 ... become lodged in blood vessels in the brain. It’s not clear whether such ...

This result highlights the reliable performance of the U-Net architecture for mouse brain MRI data. Ethical review and approval was not required for the animal study because existing animal imaging ...

A new study shows how plastics may lead to dangerous blood flow blockages in the brain. The study, led by a team from the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences in Beijing, involved ...

Columbia scientists studying mice have identified specialized neurons that respond to a variety of cues to then instruct the animals to stop eating. Though many feeding circuits in the brain are ...
