Why Scientists Choose RATS vs. MICE for Their Research

In this video we compare the pros and cons of using rats versus mice for various scientific research experiments.
Watch the video to learn:
- How mouse models are typically more well-established and economical choices for discovery and early-stage research
- Advantages of rat models for specific research applications, imaging procedures, and more
- Comparing and contrasting genomes: human, mouse, and rat
In summary, Mice are a more time, cost, and space efficient model compared to rats which are more accurate and precise for almost every research type.
It's stated that mice feel fear pain and other emotions. Rats also experience these plus many more.
*There is no evidence that suggests that rats experience phobias or that mice and rats feel love in the same way that humans do, the diagrams at 2:55 are mostly to exemplify the wider range of cognative behaviors experienced by rats and are meant to be taken with a grain of salt.

Very informative and great visuals!

[@johnkalina8895]

Solid video my guy. Brief, simply explained, but still detailed. Exactly what I was looking for

[@haoc2619]

For some reason, my mouse lab tend to stay away from picking up whereas my lab rat always chases my hand. Is there any particular reason for this type of behavior for lab rat?

[@user-li1md8vk2q]

Mouse have fear of humans while rats are social animals so they enjoy the company of humans

[@adnaniqbal4497]
