major mouse brain discovery
Scientists have found a rudimentary circuit between the brain and the vocal cords in male mice which eanbles them to sing songs when wooing females and to learn new songs from other mice!!!!!!!!

Wow! That is truly amazing! I knew that mice produced vocalizations that we couldn't hear, but I had no idea they actually sung songs. When I was a kid with rats, I read that the ultrasonic sounds produced by rats could be picked up on one of those "bat detectors". [A bat detector is some sort of device that translates ultrasonic sounds into something we can hear. They're used by people bat-watching at night and can be built at home from a kit.] Do you think we could pick up the sounds of mice singing with one of these things? I would give anything to hear the song of the mouse!

Did you see the youtube video of the genetically engineered "singing" mouse in Japan that tweets like a bird?
