Studies in rodents suggest that stress during pregnancy inhibits neural growth, while the children of women who lived in war zones during pregnancy have a higher risk of developing schizophrenia.
Building on
work in rodents showing that brain regions involved in memory are activated when the animals experience a virtual reality setting, in our experiments we will extend these results to primates.
In addition to the strain and age differences, variation in the methodology and the laboratory conditions could interfere with the anxiety and exploration
behavior in rodents [43].
The study wasn't about designing a new way of testing animal behavior, either; the same test has been
used in rodents.
Unlike energy - storing white fat, brown fat burns energy to generate heat, which can help maintain body weight and prevent
obesity in rodents.
To date, the only animal research on the neurological effects of space radiation has been
done in rodents.
They have demonstrated that blood sugar
levels in rodents can be controlled by the device.
I am really looking forward to this paper I believe up until now it has been proved
only in rodents or cell cultures — right?
And he and his lab are excited about new studies showing that fasting seems to strengthen normal
cells in rodents while making cancer cells more vulnerable.
He's found that intermittent fasting
in rodents seems to improve their blood sugar levels, boost performance on cognitive tasks and help keep them lean.
It wasn't just men who caused the stress
spike in the rodents, but any nearby male animal, including guinea pigs, rats, cats and dogs.
In observing their model, the researchers noticed that the electrical activity swirling through the entire system was reminiscent of brain waves
measured in rodents.
Now it is believed that the disease
originated in rodents, and was spread to humans by fleas, and then from human to human through airborne particles.
The researchers chose the compound because it is similar to drugs that have been used in stroke
research in rodents.
Although the implications for childhood development and adult health have yet to be understood, this finding builds on similar
work in rodents.
He has investigated the role of immune - inflammatory processes and stress in the depression - like
behavior in rodents.
Functional studies
in rodent models suggest that OPHN1 linked ID is a consequence of abnormal synaptic transmission and shares common pathophysiological mechanisms with other cognitive disorders.
Now it has been
found in rodents as well, which are only distantly related to the others.
Eating onions to increase testosterone levels may seem like a joke, but in a study that was conducted on rodents by Iranian scientists it was shown that onions can increase testosterone levels
in rodents as high as 300 percent.

memory in rodents.
To learn more about acetate's role, Shulman, who is also an investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and a team of Yale researchers conducted a series of
experiments in rodent models of obesity.
p11 is increased
in rodent brains by antidepressants or electroconvulsive therapy, but decreased in an animal model of depression and in brain tissue from depressed patients.

seen in rodent studies in 2005.

in rodents with rock squirrels, prairie dogs and ground squirrels being the most susceptible in the U.S. Fleas carried by the rodents transmit the bacteria to other animals and humans through their bites.

results in rodent models of autism, depression, and Alzheimer's disease.
The combination of pathophysiological and genetic similarities shared between human and dog led to our hypothesis that canine tumors would contain the natural variety of chromosome aberrations that are observed in the corresponding human cancers, a feature not evident with induced
tumors in rodents.
