Alternatives: "turning on the mouse" or "engaging the mouse".
The funny thing is that I actually try to oblige her and feel guilty if I move too much while typing and forget to use my left hand to activate the mouse instead of my right.
Here we report the discovery of deoxygedunin, which activates the mouse TrkB receptor and its downstream signaling cascades.
PGC-1α activated the mouse SIRT3 promoter, which was mediated by an estrogen-related receptor (ERR) binding element (ERRE) (−407/−399) mapped to the promoter region.

The two laboratories co-operated to discover that the peptides triggered another set of nerve cells to activate the mice muscles and heave a sigh.
Intriguingly, the mouse Frg1 genomic area lacks DUX4 binding sites and DUX4 is unable to activate the endogenous mouse Frg1 gene providing a possible explanation for the lack of muscle phenotype in DUX4 transgenic mice.
A 2011 study published in Nature Neuroscience found that activating the neurons in mice "evoked voracious feeding within minutes," despite the fact they were already full.
