Pigs’ brain size and digestive system are excellent analogs for human newborns Before humans can benefit from new drug therapies and nutritional additives, scientists test their safety and efficacy in animals, typically mice and rats. But, as much as theyve done for biomedical research, rodents arent always the best research model for studies on neonatal brain development and nutrition. Thats where pigs can play an important role. University of Illinois researchers say the domestic pig is ide...

Pig brain atlas gives a more precise view of human brain When scientists need to understand the effects of new infant formula ingredients on brain development, its rarely possible for them to carry out initial safety studies with human subjects. After all, few parents are willing to hand over their newborns to test unproven ingredients. Enter the domestic pig. Its brain and gut development are strikingly similar to human infants - much more so than traditional lab animals, rats and mice. And, l...

Dforestation is affecting animals' stress levels. Just like humans, it seems, animals are feeling the mental effects of climate change and deforestation.

It turns out, humans arent the only ones stressing out--by analyzing hormones that accumulate in fur, researchers found that rodents and marsupials living in smaller patches of South Americas Atlantic Forest are under more stress th...
