If you think laughter and comedy are reserved strictly for humans, you’d be wrong. A study in the late 1990s showed that creatures like rats emit ultrasonic vocalizations while playing with or ...

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 ...

Scientists have shown in rats how several brain regions need to work together to acquire a skill and replicate it flawlessly with each rat adding their own personal flair in the form of a 'dance.' ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
