Researchers at the Champalimaud Foundation in Portugal discovered that mice’s facial movements reveal their internal thought strategies. The finding could open a non-invasive way to study brain ...

Impeding a link between the body's natural clock and the brain may help reduce neurodegeneration in mice modeling Alzheimer's ...

Virtual reality headsets like the Meta Quest or Apple Vision Pro will be a Christmas gift in more than one home this year. Now mice are getting in on the action. Researchers have developed a set of VR ...

Aging compromises the lymphatic vessels surrounding the brain, disabling waste drainage from the brain and impacting cognitive function. Researchers boosted lymphatic vessel integrity in old mice and ...

Mice turning tiny steering wheels to move shapes on a screen have helped scientists produce the first brain-wide map of decision-making at single-cell resolution in a mammal. For decades, most ...

Just a few days after scientists announced we're at a pivotal tipping point in Alzheimer's disease research, a team has made a huge breakthrough, proving for the first time how mitochondrial ...

Lab-grown brain cells improved stroke recovery in mice by repairing circuits and reducing damage. Human trials could follow within 5–7 years.

Columbia scientists studying mice have identified specialized neurons that respond to a variety of cues to then instruct the animals to stop eating. Though many feeding circuits in the brain are known ...

A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign shows, for the first time, that severe flu infection in pregnant ...

Scientists at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) may have discovered a cause of aging in the brain. The culprit is a protein called ferritin light chain 1 (FTL1), described as an ...
