Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that mice use chemical cues, including odors, to detect the social rank ...

A new study shows that inserting human DNA into mice grow bigger brains, offering clues to human brain evolution.

The slice of code — a stretch of DNA that acts like a dial to turn up the expression of certain genes — expanded the outer ...

Researchers have developed an extremely thin, flexible imager that could be useful for noninvasively acquiring images from ...

Nestled in dark burrows, with a limited sense of vision, mice brush their whiskers against their environment to navigate and ...

A small segment of human DNA boosts brain size and complexity, revealing both the origins of intelligence and its ...

A research team has unveiled the cause and molecular mechanism of chronic brain inflammation that results in repetitive ...

Scientists have found a way to map the intricate patterns of cells in mouse brain tissue with an off-the-shelf light ...

Researchers have shown in mice that brain cells known as astrocytes are required for a signaling chemical called norepinephrine to modify brain activity, changing the textbook understanding that ...

Researchers have shown that mice use chemical cues, including odors, to detect the social rank of an unfamiliar mouse and compare it to their own, using this information to determine their behavior.
