Medical researchers have used animals, particularly mice, to mimic disease and study biological phenomena. The origin of mice as a standard model system for scientific research can extend back to the ...

For more than a decade, neuroscientists had recordings from monkey brains learning to sort visual patterns. They had analyzed the data, published landmark papers, and moved on. Then a computer model ...

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

A figure from the research paper shows that both the model and experimental animals learned a task at a very similar pace. A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and ...
