New York is facing its rat problem head-on. New York City is known for its towering skyscrapers and bustling streets, but lurking beneath the glitz and glamour of the city that never sleeps are 3 ...

In another forced desynchronization protocol, differences between the ventrolateral and dorsomedial SCN zones have been observed in rats (de la Iglesia, Cambras, Schwartz & Díez-Noguera, 2004), ...

Tobias Linné does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond ...

Our current understanding of SCN neurophysiology comes overwhelmingly from electrophysiological recordings on a small number of nocturnal rodent species (mice, rats, and hamsters) (Colwell, 2011; ...

But is it a rat or a mouse? Telling the two species apart can be tough to the untrained eye, but with a bit of investigation, you can figure out the differences—especially in their size ...

Rat species are found throughout the order Rodentia. Stereotypical rats are found in the genus Rattus, which includes some of the better-known species of rat, such as the brown rat (Rattus ...

Moreover, we provide electrophysiological evidence that rats are sensitive to UV light by showing neuronal responses to even very dim monochromatic light (360 nm) in the dLGN and SCN. Finally, we ...

With tests for that human strain of HEV negative, the researchers redesigned the diagnostic test, ran it again – and found, for the first time in history, rat hepatitis E in a human.

Rats can be taught to play hide and seek – and they squeal with joy when they win, scientists have found. Both wild and domesticated animals have been known to play, but neuroscientists from ...

The rhythms continue in constant darkness and depend on cell-cell communication between neurons and glia. The SCN astrocytes generate also a circadian rhythm in extracellular adenosine 5′-triphosphate ...
