Highland deer mice and their lowland cousins ventured on a simulated seven-week ascent to 6,000 meters. By tracking how the mice responded to cold stress and progressively lower oxygen levels, the ...

No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by scientists in a new study on the human sense of touch.

Teams of mountaineering mice are helping advance understanding into how evolutionary adaptation to localized conditions can enable a single species to thrive across diverse environments.

Researchers identified 16 distinct types of nerve cells involved in human touch and compared them with those in mice and macaques, showing both shared and unique traits.

Trailing behind the fluffy animal, however, is a tail longer than the rest of its body combined, more than 6 inches long, ...

Teams of mountaineering mice are helping advance understanding into how evolutionary adaptation to localized conditions can enable a single species to thrive across diverse environments.

But for healthy mice, this test is a cakewalk. As Prof. Uusisaari explains, "most mice species are arboreal animals, living in trees. They have adapted to swiftly cross difficult surfaces like thin ...
