U.S. scientists activate predatory behavior in mice

PanARMENIAN.Net – U.S. scientists have ramped up predatory behavior in mice by stimulating a region of the brain known for its role in emotions like fear and pleasure, AFP cited a study published Thursday, January 12 as saying. The experiment turned the lab mice into super-eating machines, vigorously attacking food, bottle caps, and sticks as prey, said the findings in the journal Cell.
