Tail movement evoked by various tilt amplitudes. Ipsilateral per turbation trials with 10, 20 and 30 degree tilts shown in normal and 4x slowed-down video. Credit: Journal of Experimental Biology ...

Tracking and modeling mouse movements during the platform walking task. Ipsilateral movements (IL) refer to the tail being on the same side as the tilt direction, while contralateral (CL ...

In mice, the lateral tail vein is the most common route of administration. Many researchers, however, find the technique to be difficult and time-consuming, especially when multiple consecutive ...

Previously, the role of mice tails in maintaining balance was poorly understood and often overlooked in experiments. "While mice are crucial in neuroscience because of their likeness to us, our ...

The house mouse (Mus musculus) is one of the most common mammals worldwide. It can be found in all parts of the United States and Southern Canada. Adults are about five to seven inches long, with ...

CT scans revealed a layer of bony scales, or osteoderms, hidden beneath the skin of the tails in spiny mice. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Rats are generally larger, with robust bodies and long tails, while mice are smaller and have more slender bodies and shorter tails. Behaviorally, rats are known for their cautious nature and ...

A challenge to mice and research In addition to elucidating the role of mice tails, the researchers also developed a new experimental setup for assessing mouse balance. The previous standard is a ...
