In human society, men tend to be seen as risk-takers, while women are seen as being more cautious. According to evolutionary psychologists, this difference developed in the wake of threats to each sex ...

By replacing the defective gene associated with Dravet syndrome in mice, scientists successfully alleviated symptoms without ...

Retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα) is a nuclear receptor with a central role in spermatogenesis. Genetic knockout studies in mice have shown that the lack of RARα leads to a complete absence of sperm ...

In a groundbreaking advancement for families grappling with the challenges of Dravet syndrome, a rare and life-altering form ...

In this detailed study, Cohen and Ben-Shaul characterized Accessory Olfactory Bulb (AOB) cell responses to various conspecific urine samples in female mice across the estrous cycle. The authors found ...

Darnell tells the New York Times’ Carl Zimmer. The mice with the human version of NOVA1 began squeaking differently, especially male mice calling out to female mice. Overall, their squeaks were ...

Erich Jarvis is a researcher at Rockefeller University in New York. He says mouse pups chirp when they're taken away from their mothers, and as adults, male mice string long sequences of these chirps ...

Baby mice with the altered gene produced higher-pitched ultrasonic squeaks, possibly as an attempt at increased social interaction, though their calls did not attract more attention from their mothers ...

Higher frequency calls are also used by adult male mice during courtship for similar reasons. When adult male mice were genetically altered with the human NOVA1 variant, their squeaks during courtship ...
