Researchers in France have successfully cloned rats, overcoming a quirk in the rodent’s physiology to produce genetic duplicates for use in medical research. LED BY RESEARCHERS at the National ...

To reduce the experimental burden on the laboratory animal during blood pressure measurements, we developed a modified technique for restraint during tail-cuff blood pressure measurements. Our ...

Scientists have published nearly the entire genome of the common rat, making it possible to compare it to the genetic maps of people and mice. That ability is expected to yield clues into evolution ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Parents often use tickling as a playful way to lighten a child’s mood. In Brianna Gaskill’s Purdue University lab, scientists do the same thing, only with rats. Gaskill, an ...

How do we perceive music and sounds? This question is the basis of the research by the Language and Comparative Cognition Group (LCC) of the UPF Center for Brain and Cognition (CBC) published recently ...

It has probably happened to everyone at one time or another. You're driving to a restaurant for the very first time. At a crossroads, you make a turn. You drive for several minutes, and then several ...
