The current tests of anxiety in mice and rats used in preclinical research include the elevated
plus‐maze (EPM) or zero‐maze (EZM), the light/dark box (LDB), and the open‐field (OF) …

The study of consummatory responses during food intake represents a unique opportunity to
investigate the physiological, psychological and neurobiological processes that control …

If we conduct the same experiment in two laboratories or repeat a classical study many
years later, will we obtain the same results? Recent research with mice in neural and …

Gustatory stimuli are detected by taste buds and transmitted to the hindbrain via sensory
afferent neurons. Whether each taste quality (sweet, bitter and so on) is encoded by …

The incidence of human papilloma virus–mediated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma
(OPSCC) has increased over the past 40 years, particularly among young individuals with a …

It has been hypothesized that the peripheral taste system may be modulated in the context of
an animal's metabolic state. One purported mechanism for this phenomenon is that …

Evidence in the literature supports the hypothesis that the T1R2+ 3 heterodimer binds to
compounds that humans describe as sweet. Here, we assessed the necessity of the T1R2 …

Mouse models of feeding provide a useful tool for elucidating the molecular pathways of
energy regulation. The majority of studies in mice have been limited to intake analyses …

Fluid licking in mice is an example of a rhythmic behavior thought to be under the control of
a central pattern generator. Inbred strains of mice have been shown to differ in mean or …

Background The High Drinking in the Dark (HDID) selected mouse line was bred for high
