Metacognition in the Rat [PDF]
Current Biology, 2007 The ability to reflect on one's own mental processes, termed metacognition, is a defining feature of human existence [1, 2]. Consequently, a fundamental question in comparative cognition is whether nonhuman animals have knowledge of their own cognitive states [3].

Cell, 2013 The selective breeding of rats as physiological, behavioral, and disease models generated a wealth of variation relevant to the genetics of complex traits. In this issue, Atanur and colleagues sequence the genomes of 25 inbred rat strains to understand how artificial selection shaped their genomes.

The effect of rat galanin in rats [PDF]
Diabetologia, 1990 La galanine est un neuropeptide dont l'effet sur l'insulinosecretion est controverse. Les auteurs ont ici teste l'effet de la galanine sur la reponse insulinique au glucose chez rats conscients. Ils observent une inhibition significative de l'insulinosecretion aussi bien par la galanine de rat que par la galanine porcine.

Enhanced self-administration of the CB1 receptor agonist WIN55,212-2 in olfactory bulbectomized rats: evaluation of possible serotonergic and dopaminergic underlying mechanisms [PDF]
, 2014 Depression has been associated with drug consumption, including heavy or problematic cannabis use. According to an animal model of depression and substance use disorder comorbidity, we combined the olfactory bulbectomy (OBX) model of depression with ...

Dietary calcium decreases but short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides increase colonic permeability in rats [PDF]
, 2010 An increased intestinal permeability is associated with several diseases. Nutrition can influence gut permeability. Previously, we showed that dietary Ca decreases whereas dietary short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides (scFOS) increase intestinal ...

Nature, 1886 IN reference to the correspondence that appeared in last week's issue (p. 513) upon the above subject, permit me to state I have found by practical experience that the ferocity and voracity of rats is very great. They devour one another at all times and under all circumstances, whether living in a wild state or under the influence of domestication.

Improved timed-mating, non-invasive method using fewer unproven female rats with pregnancy validation via early body mass increases [PDF]
, 2018 For studies requiring accurate conception-timing, reliable, efficient methods of detecting oestrus reduce time and costs, whilst improving welfare. Standard methods use vaginal cytology to stage cycle, and breeders are paired–up using approximately five ...
