I had a neuroscience professor in undergrad who did a bunch of experiments where the only variables were things like the material of the cage, bedding, feeder, etc. He systematically tested variations in each separately. Outcomes varied in mice no matter what was changed. I would love to tell you what outcomes he measured, but it convinced me not to go into mice research so it's all just a distant memory.

On the other hand, I've worked with people since then who have their own mice studies going on. We are always learning new ways to improve the situation. It's just not a very impressive front page so it goes unnoticed by those not into mice research methods.

Funny, considering majority of trials posted on the front page end up being studies done on mice.

The implications of the work done by your former professor are so profound I can hardly get my arms around them.

Are you able to find if your professor published any of that information?

I wish I could, but in addition to this happening over a decade ago, he changed his lab's focus afterwards. He went into neurotransmitter research in skin since it has some overlapping embryological origins with the brain.
