New research suggests that the commonly used ‘lab mouse’ may display behaviors entirely distinct from their wild-derived counterparts, prompting new considerations for the future of animal-based ...

When laboratory mice step out of their plastic cages and into real soil, their behavior changes so dramatically that it forces a rethink of what stress, health and even “normal” really mean. The story ...

When scientists opened the doors of a research facility and let carefully bred lab mice loose into a fenced field, they expected skittish, fragile animals to struggle. Instead, the mice rapidly shed ...

A new study has examined social behavior of lab mice in large outdoor enclosures. A new Cornell University study is the first to examine social behavior of lab mice in large outdoor enclosures. The ...

Although numerous studies have evaluated the effect of housing density on the wellbeing of laboratory mice, little is known about the effect of breeding configuration on mouse behavior. The 8th ...

In recent decades, the use of video datasets such as wildlife cameras or lab videos has become one of the most important tools for the study of animal behavior. These datasets help researchers make ...

In the CAB Lab we study the neural and behavioral mechanisms that exert control over choices and adjustment of behavior to changes in the environment. We specifically focus on cortical circuits ...
