The dietary sodium requirements for rats have been a matter of debate.

To investigate dietary sodium requirements, 3-wk-old weanling Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a custom pelleted diet containing no sodium that was...

Rebounding after decades of repression by behaviorism and reductionism, neuroscientists have joined psychologists and philosophers in seeking to learn what distinguishes conscious from nonconscious functioning of brains (1–6). But despite the well known power of a comparative approach to challenging biologica...
متن کاملTransgenic animals
The technique of introducing new genetic material into the germline of mammals has been a major development in biotechnology over the last decades. ”Transgenic animals“ are animals whose chromosomes contain stable, integrated copies of exogenous genes, additional copies of endogenous genes or gene constructs. They are frequently created by two different techniques: microinjection of DNA into th...
