A research group led by Joshua Neunuebel at the University of Delaware, U.S., tracked the behavior of mice using machine learning to understand how they handle aggressive behavior from other mice. The ...

New research suggests female mice show more stable exploratory behavior than male mice, despite hormone cycles The results challenge a long-held assumption that hormones have a broad effect on ...

In male-on-male mouse squabbles, the victims of aggression often hide behind a female mouse to divert their attacker’s attention. “Think back to a time when you were confronted by a bully or found ...

There’s no question that hormones affect the brain—and if they affect the brain, that means they can affect behavior, too. That logic has long justified leaving female mice out of neuroscience studies ...

Researchers tracked the behavior of mice using machine learning to understand how they handle aggressive behavior from other mice. The researchers' findings show that male mice deescalate aggressive ...

Mice have long been a central part of neuroscience research, providing a flexible model that scientists can control and study to learn more about the intricate inner workings of the brain.

Artistic rendering of mouse bait-and-switch. Male mice, subjected to agonistic interactions, escape and avoid conflict by exploiting nearby females to divert the attention of the pursuing aggressor.
