Mouse Brain

The mouse brain is a complex organ that controls thoughts, emotions, sensory processing, and movement, similar to the human brain but smaller. It contains billions of neurons (nerve cells) interconnected to form neural circuits, allowing mice to learn, remember, and respond to their environment. Scientists study mouse brains because they share many biological features with humans, making them valuable for understanding brain function, neurological diseases, and developing treatments. Overall, the mouse brain is a finely tuned system that manages all aspects of a mouse’s behavior and physiology.
