Researchers use molecular barcoding to discover that Alston’s singing mice evolved complex vocalizations through targeted tripling of neural projections.

Speech is a crowning achievement of human evolution, the skill that separates us from every other animal. So, it would stand ...

New research suggests mice may exhibit revival-like behaviors to help unconscious mice recover faster. Lab mice may give 'first aid' to unconscious mates Li Zhang has anesthetized a lot of mice in his ...

Scientists wanted to know why the chatter of Alston’s singing mice sounds so much like human conversation. What they found ...

A new study finds that lab mice perform a suite of likely innate behaviors towards unconscious mice that help them revive faster. When we humans encounter an unconscious person, we might spring into ...

Researchers have created genome-wide, high-resolution genetic maps of 100 inbred mouse strains. Compared with wild-derived strains, most of today's classical lab strains have limited genetic diversity ...

Li Zhang has anesthetized a lot of mice in his research career. Several years ago, the University of Southern California neuroscientist's team began noticing that sometimes, when they placed an ...
