Animal Behavior is the scientific study of the wild ways in which animals interact with each other, with other living beings, and with the environment. It explores how animals relate to their physical environment as well as to other organisms, and includes topics such as how animals find and defend resources, avoid predators, choose mates, reproduce, and care for their young.
Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) are a prevalent health issue in North America. There is increasing pressure to utilize ecologically valid models of closed-head mTBI in the preclinical...
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased awareness about sex-specific differences in immunity and outcomes following respiratory virus infections. Strong evidence of a male bias in acute...

The quest for alternatives to animal safety testing has fueled the development, characterization, and validation of many new technologies. There have been advances in cell and tissue models...
Targeted stimulation of the brain has the potential to treat mental illnesses but designing an appropriate protocol requires a multitude of choices. I will describe an approach to help desig...
Ataxia Telangiectasia, also known as A-T, is a devastating neuropediatric and genetic disorder for which there is no cure. Patients suffer from immune deficiency, cancer predisposition, and...
Several age-related neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by the deposition of aberrantly folded proteins. The histopathological hallmark of synucleinopathies is the deposition of É‘-...
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder with multiple motor and non-motor symptoms. PD is characterized by the presence on proteinaceous neuronal...
Many diseases show sex differences in incidence or progression, suggesting that one sex has inherent biological factors that protect from or exacerbate disease. Historically the root causes...
Learning Objectives: 1. Understand the functionality and digestibility of starches at high heating temperatures as measured jointly by RVA 4800 and DSC 2. Acquire new knowledge on the behavi...
Date: October 10, 2020 Time: 10:00am (PDT), 1:00pm (EDT) Rodent bile collection studies can be challenging. Not only do they require a technically difficult surgery, but there is also a lear...
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that is caused by the immune system’s inability to respond appropriately to an infection. How sepsis can change the gut microbiome in ways that a...

Bringing a new research surgical model into production is always a challenging endeavor, and it has become much more challenging with the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic. The virus’...
Cancer initiation and virulence depends on mechanisms to evade host immunosurveillance and suppression of early invasion and growth. Distinct phenotypes of the immune infiltrates in and arou...
During organismal development, differential regulation of the cell cycle is critical to many cell biological processes, including cell migration, cell fate specification and differentiation....
The justification of sample size is one of the hardest sections of a proposal an IACUC (ethical review board) has to assess, yet is arguably one of the most important (1). This is a key oppo...
Biomedical research suffers from a translation gap, where most treatments that seem effective when tested on animals turn out not to work in human patients. This is likely due in large part...
Nonterminal blood collection from mice is frequently performed in biomedical research. Multiple phlebotomy sites and restraint techniques are available to investigators. Methods that minimiz...
Compassion Fatigue can affect all those that care for and work with laboratory animals, including husbandry staff, veterinary staff, researchers, and other support staff. It is known as the...
The ability to rapidly and accurately identify pain in mice is critical for providing them optimal care and welfare. To meet this need, we developed and validated the Grooming Transfer Test...
The necrobiome is the community of organisms that use or are affected by decomposing organic matter. Decomposing organic matter comes in the form of dead plant matter (biomass) or that of de...
