El Duvelle Neuro<p>Anyone knows of researchers that compare <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Mice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mice</span></a> and <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Rats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rats</span></a> behaviour (ideally in complex tasks)? It could be in <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/SpatialCognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpatialCognition</span></a> but also in other fields. Papers that directly compare both species would also be great.</p><p><a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/BehaviouralNeuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BehaviouralNeuroscience</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/NeuroMice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NeuroMice</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/NeuroRats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NeuroRats</span></a></p>
