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 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 ...

We crafted our first rodent car from a plastic cereal container. After trial and error, my colleagues and I found that rats could learn to drive forward by grasping a small wire that acted like a gas ...

To learn more about how environmental factors influence the cognitive abilities of humans, researchers have trained rodents to drive tiny cars. It may sound far out, but rats have similar pathways and ...

Scientists taught rats to drive to a certain destination, but the rodents took a detour, suggesting they enjoy both the journey and the rewarding destination. When you purchase through links on our ...

We ran rats through this extensive battery of behavioral and biological tests, and what we found was that when we look at all ...
