The myth of female variability is shaping what we know about our brains.

The journal Ethology is the first to adopt the guidelines, aimed at clarifying experimental design and the potential biases within.

In a virtual reality experiment, participants recovered faster from a small electric shock when they could smell natural scents than when they could smell urban odors.

Many preclinical studies carried out in vivo are poorly designed and generate irreproducible data, but efforts to address the problem are on the rise.

Scientists say that increasingly rigorous licensing procedures have complicated research efforts—and in some cases, stopped experiments completely.

Including as few as two labs in a study improved the odds of getting the true effect size by as much as 23 percentage points, according to a replication model.

Leonard Freedman, president of the Global Biological Standards Institute, discusses the causes of irreproducible science and his latest effort to spread best practices.

Animal experiments published in a handful of cardiovascular journals mostly ignore NIH guidelines.

Why are there so many contradictory nutrition studies, and how can they be improved?
