Gerbils exhibit stable, family-specific vocal dialects over weeks, suggesting vocal communication may play a key role in representing kinship in natural social groups.

Comparing the white-footed deermouse with mice and rats in an inflammation model reveals a means for the observed infection tolerance in this key animal reservoir for several human diseases.

Increased production of ether lipids is required to extend lifespan in response to metformin, phenformin, and multiple, distinct, longevity-promoting manipulations, illuminating the possibility that raising ether lipid levels represents a new therapeutic strategy to support healthy aging.

HERBS is a catch-all anatomical registration toolkit allowing users to plan surgical coordinates in advance, or visualize anatomical data post hoc in 2D or 3D brain volumes for rats, mice, or any species that has a compatible atlas.

Studying the genomes of mammals with sparse hair covering identifies specific genes and regulatory regions responsible for the formation of hair and skin, some of which were previously unrecognized.

Inter-species variations in connectome architecture across the mammalian phylogenetic spectrum recapitulate established taxonomic relationships defined by genetic, morphology, and behavioural differences, and are mainly driven by local changes in connectivity while hallmark global features tend to be conserved across species.
