Cattle producers often associate estrous synchronization with artificial insemination. Many do not associate the practices ...

They found that hormone fluctuations during the mouse estrous cycle, a 4-day cycle analogous to the 28-day human menstrual cycle, powerfully influence the shape and behavior of hippocampal neurons.

The Netherlands Cancer Institute has found that the estrous cycle stage significantly influences mammary tumors' sensitivity to chemotherapy. In mouse models of breast cancer, treatment initiated ...

They found that hormone fluctuations during the mouse estrous cycle, a 4-day cycle analogous to the 28-day human menstrual cycle, powerfully influence the shape and behavior of hippocampal neurons.

That is when her team, which was predominantly female, had an epiphany. “We thought, could it be that the menstrual cycle, [what] we call estrous cycle in mice, is maybe causing all these inconclusive ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Regardless of the type of access provided to the rats, cocaine seeking was higher in female rats than male rats. “In female rats, the magnitude of cocaine craving was critically dependent on the phase ...

Male mice reportedly prefer the odor of estrous females over that of non-estrous females (receptivity-based preference) and males (sex-based preference). However, the neural circuit control of ...

Estrous cycle-dependent modulation of sexual receptivity in female mice by estrogen receptor beta-expressing cells in the dorsal raphe nucleus. The Journal of Neuroscience , 2024; e1137242024 DOI ...

Accounting for the hormonal changes was viewed as too cumbersome and too expensive. But the estrous cycle has little to do with how female mice behave, according to a new study that used machine ...
