All the normal mice used to build the normal limits in QGS got 0 for their TPD assessment, while their AIF value was 4.4% ± 1.6%.
Because the glass in the subs' portholes was too thick to film through with a wide-angle lens, Cameron recruited his brother Mike, an aerospace engineer (and a collaborator on the submersible-mouse project), to build complex remote-control cameras that wouldn't be crushed by the mammoth pressure.
During learning, the mouse is supposed to build a "cognitive map" of the environment, a representation that enables the animal to locate the platform, regardless of where it enters the pool.
The transplanted gut microbes from humans led to metabolic changes in the mice that caused them to build up fat tissue in their bodies, which is also the key feature seen in people who are overweight or obese.
