When scientists opened the doors of a research facility and let carefully bred lab mice loose into a fenced field, they ...

For generations, laboratory mice have lived and died under fluorescent lights, their world reduced to plastic cages and ...

Scientists stress out lab mice, a lot. Inducing chronic stress and anxiety in these furry critters is how scientists explore the bodily and cognitive effects of stress and discover anti-anxiety ...

New research suggests that the commonly used ‘lab mouse’ may display behaviors entirely distinct from their wild-derived counterparts, prompting new considerations for the future of animal-based ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – In a new study, Cornell University researchers rewilded multiple cohorts of lab mice over two years and found that their fear response in a classic assay used to assess anxiety was ...

A new study shows that how mice are picked up by the experimenter can substantially change their behaviour in cognitive tests. The work, by Dr Kelly Gouveia and Professor Jane Hurst from the ...
