Located in the Southwestern US, these mice have shorter, nearly hairless tails. They have a dark grey-brown back and grey sides, making them fairly easy to spot. The body generally grows to between 2 and 2.5 inches with a tail length of 1.5 to 1.75 inches. #10 – Silky Pocket Mouse(P...
Tail Besides the size difference, tails are also a quick clue you can use to tell a mouse from a rat. Mice have long, thin tails that are completely covered in fur. Rats, on the other hand, have comparatively shorter and thicker tails that are hairless and scaly. Other Differences Mice ...
We extracted 50 μl of blood from each animal by tail-nick two days before the first habituation to the tube (under relatively basal conditions), 2 h before the first habituation session, 2 h before the first test and 2 h before the first habituation to the fear conditioning cham...

The sex of the fetuses was determined by PCR on tail DNA using primers for Smcx/Smcy [60] as, at E12, males and females are morphological indistinguishable. Genital ridges were dissected away from the mesonephros in sterile PBS and stored at − 80 °C until all samples were ...
PCR analysis of tail DNA confirmed the Ehd1 gene was correctly targeted in heterozygous deleted (Ehd1+/-), homozygous deleted (Ehd1-/-), heterozygous floxed (Ehd1fl-Neo/+), and homozygous floxed (Ehd1fl-Neo/fl-Neo) mice (Figure 1B). RT-PCR also confirmed the absence of Ehd1 mRNA in ...
All blood samples were collected from the tail vein, and glucose was measured by the glucose oxidase method using a hand-held OneTouch Ultra glucometer (LifeScan, Milpitas, CA, USA). To perform the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), basal blood glucose levels were first measured after 15-...
Fig. 3: Differential roles of the superior colliculus (SC) and the tail of the striatum (TS) in the crescendo-induced defensive behavior. Full size image It appears that the neural pathway for the crescendo-triggered freezing is different from that underlying visually induced freezing, as SC is...
