Mice reach the twilight of their lives at around age two, the rough equivalent of 80 in human years. And when researchers introduce specific mutations into mice and then age them up, the mice can grow forgetful and irritable—eventually ...

A multi-institutional team of brain researchers has discovered some of the ways that the human brain has evolved to allow for better cognitive processing by comparing certain nerve cells from the brains of mice and humans. ...
New study reveals striking similarities in synaptic abnormalities and behavioral patterns between male and female mouse models of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study challenges the traditional focus on male subjects ...
