laboratory mouse
Scientist's test subject
A laboratory mouse is a mouse bred and kept for scientific research.
These mice are typically strains developed over generations for genetic uniformity, making experimental results more consistent and reproducible.
The laboratory mouse showed no adverse effects from the treatment.
Lab mice serve as models for studying human diseases, testing drugs, and understanding genetics.
