The study, published in Science, suggests that the brains of mice and men may be too different for the rodents to act as a useful model for certain brain research.The team from The University of ...

They replaced this large brain region with rat cells, and 60% of the cells in the mature mice ended up being of rat origin. Despite their hybridized brains, the mice acted like typical lab mice ...

The mice's brain activity also looked resilient. "The whole thing seemed like such a wild idea that I almost couldn't believe it worked," Xia said.

Curious about a brain region that regulates body temperature in rodents, Dr. Chen and her colleagues constructed tiny ultrasound mouse caps. The devices trained six bursts, each consisting of 10 ...
