Scientists suggest study findings could point to the future development of new treatments for age-related cognitive decline.

As aging bodies decline, the brain loses the ability to cleanse itself of waste, a scenario that scientists think could be contributing to ...

Aging brains may struggle to clear out waste, contributing to memory loss and diseases like Alzheimer’s. But researchers have now found that improving the brain’s waste-draining vessels in old mice ...

The ThermoMaze behavioral paradigm enables the collection of extensive physiological data while animals remain at distinct experimenter-controlled locations during rest.

A breakthrough was achieved in 1909 when researchers managed for the first time to mate mice with each other over many generations. The animals from this inbred line were homogeneous, so that the ...

In laboratory tests, researchers introduced mice to either a fully active companion ... The study also found that mice were more likely to help familiar cage mates than unfamiliar ones, hinting ...

In a lab at the University of Southern California, a mouse notices something is wrong. Its cage mate lies motionless, unresponsive. Without hesitation, the mouse begins to sniff, groom, and then — ...

Now, neuroscientists at the University of Southern California have observed laboratory mice appearing to do the same for their unconscious cage mates. Their findings were published in the journal ...

Lab mice may give 'first aid' to unconscious mates ... when they placed an anesthetized mouse back in its cage, its cage mate would start acting strangely, sniffing and biting around the ...

Several years ago, the University of Southern California neuroscientist's team began noticing that sometimes, when they placed an anesthetized mouse back in its cage, its cage mate would start ...
