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.

Even with fewer hours of sleep, those with this uncommon mutation can be completely refreshed, in contrast to those who require at least seven hours of sleep. The study found that short sleepers ...
