Researchers in France have successfully cloned rats, overcoming a quirk in the rodent’s physiology to produce genetic duplicates for use in medical research. LED BY RESEARCHERS at the National ...

Now, researchers have developed a biomedical structure that has given impressive functional recovery to lab rats with severed ...

With roughly three million rats living in New York City, scientists set out to understand the daily lives—and speech patterns ...

The National Institutes of Health has more on spinal cord injuries. In the future, 3D printing technology might help people ...

New research predicts that rats will continue to grow and fill a 'significant chunk' of Earth's emptying ecospace. Their global influence is likely to grow in the future as larger mammals continue to ...

Scientists have published nearly the entire genome of the common rat, making it possible to compare it to the genetic maps of people and mice. That ability is expected to yield clues into evolution ...

There's the rat race, and then there are these lab rats who learned to drive tiny cars. WIRED's Matt Simon talked with neuroscientist Kelly Lambert about what her driving rodent experiment can teach ...

How do we perceive music and sounds? This question is the basis of the research by the Language and Comparative Cognition Group (LCC) of the UPF Center for Brain and Cognition (CBC) published recently ...

The Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus) is a highly destructive invasive species but while rat eradications on islands are effective, detection of survivors or reinvasions is challenging. We tested whether ...
