Scientists at Stanford have found that hyperactivity in the brain’s reticular thalamic nucleus may drive autism-like behaviors. In mouse models, drugs and neuromodulation techniques that suppressed this overactive region reversed symptoms, hinting at new therapeutic pathways that overlap with epil...

C57BL/6J mice are widely used in biomedical research and are susceptible to insulin resistance and dyslipidemia when challenged with high fat diets relative to other in**ed strains. Interestingly, C57Bl/6J mice contain a naturally occurring premature termination codon in the lipid flippase Atp10D, a...
