Imagine taking a journey to the highest peaks, where the thin air makes it difficult to breathe. Just like our experience changes in high altitude, so does the brain of mice exposed to chronic hypoxia at high altitude. In a scientific study, researchers investigated the effects of chronic hypoxia on mouse brains by exposing them […]
Imagine being a master navigator, effortlessly maneuvering through a labyrinthine maze filled with countless choices and variables. That’s what humans excel at – making decisions in expansive, complex, and multidimensional real-world environments. While traditional studies on decision-making focused on artificial tasks, recent research takes a different approach. By incorporating naturalistic complexity into experimental paradigms, scientists […]
Tau is a microtubule-associated protein with a diverse functional repertoire linked to neurodegenerative disease. Recently, a human tau knock-in (MAPT KI) mouse was developed that may overcome many limitations associated with current animal models used to study tau. In MAPT KI mice, the entire murine Mapt gene was replaced with the human MAPT gene under […]
