Scientists then tested a class of drugs called histone deacetylase, or HDAC, inhibitors on the mice.
The mice used in the study were genetically engineered to completely lack ephrin-B3 protein.
After each experience, all the mice continued to drink the normal amount of alcohol.
When we went into the house he knew where the mice were all hiding.
Essentially a neurological link that allows the mice to use auditory feedback to keep a tune.
ENGADGET: Alt-week 10.13.12: is the Universe a simulation, cloning dinosaurs and singing mice
At Hunter College, the researchers this month are breeding hundreds of the mice for laboratory tests.
That's because, for the most part, they can't simply buy the mice off the shelf.
However, as soon brain plaques started to form the mice were sleeping for only 30 minutes.
But when scientists modify the mice with specific genetic tweaks, they are difficult to replace.
It is thought a change in farming methods has led to the mice losing their habitats.
When they were taken off the drug, the mice gained all the weight back.
The mice lost weight, even though they kept eating the same number of calories.
Some of the mice were put on a swimming regimen, while others did not exercise.
The mice were then put through tests that measured their memory and cognitive ability.
It would be like mice attempting to outwit a human (we're the mice).
The gene remained turned off, or inactive, when the antibiotic was put in the mice's drinking water.
When the mice were given pure air again, they returned to normal within less than 30 minutes.
ECONOMIST: Researchers find hydrogen sulphide can lower metabolism
He said the mice were then able to use their sense of smell to seek out food.
Weight gain was greatest in the mice transplanted through the intestinal route, at about 70 milligrams a day.
The playground mice were able to remember the shock test far better than the mice in other cages.
However, three weeks later the mutant mice began drinking approximately three times more alcohol than the normal mice.
Therefore the mice did not die because they became stressed by the repeated changes to their body clocks.
The mice hopped about like kangaroos, using both their forelimbs and hind limbs.
The mice were genetically modified so that their beta cells produced the protein.
This effect lasts until a few days after the last injection, at which point the mice resume normal feeding.
The researchers investigated the anxiety levels of the mice by measuring a stress hormone called corticosterone in their faeces.
The lab published similar findings from the mice in a paper in November.
Instead, some of the mice developed a tumor known as bile duct cancer.
The mice are difficult to breed because mutations often render them sterile.
When they were later given equal access to both treats, the mice chose the one they had exerted themselves for.
