The National Institute of Mental Health, had used rats and mice, giving them injections. They gain human-level intelligence and longer lifespans through injections and tests at the real-life National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) before escaping to build a civilized society.

The rats and mice can read, write, use electricity, and open complex locks and a greater lifespan than normal rats and mice. Jonathan and his comrades were kept in small cages within a large cabinet, from which they were unable to make their escape. . And their offspring inherit the same traits. Jonathan, Martin's father was a mouse from NIMH. The group originally consisted of twenty rats and eight mice captured and experimented on by NIMH, and later grew to a group of over one hundred rats with their various descendants.

Mrs. Elizabeth Brisby, or better known as Mrs. Brisby, who is Martin's mothher; despite being sweet and kind, Mrs. Brisby is shy and timid in the beginning and is scared easily, especially by Dragon the cat and heights. But when Timothy became ill, she became willing to do anything to save him, even if it meant visiting The Great Owl and the rats of N.I.M.H. (The National Institute of Mental Health). She is also motherly because she has four children to take care of. Mrs. Brisby is a slender and very beautiful field mouse with light brown fur, blue eyes, a dark red nose, and pink innards of her ears. She has a tuft of hair on top of her head and another tuft on her chest, generally only visible when she doesn't have her cape on, a long tail, and she goes barefoot. In the first film, Mrs. Brisby wears a red cape. In the second film, her appearance has changed. Her fur is turning grey, and she wears a red hooded robe with purple trims on the sleeves and spectacles. This is due to the fact that Mrs. Brisby was never subjected to the experiments like the other mice and rats who escaped NIMH and as a result ages like a normal mouse would. Martin loves and looks up to his mother and misses her.

was Martin's father, appeared in a flashback as a young mouse with spotted grey-brown fur. He is similar in appearance to his son Martin. Jonathan was known to be incredibly brave and clever, and without his help, the Rats of NIMH would have never survived their escape through the ventilation system. Even after the escape from NIMH, Jonathan still retained his sense of bravery and loyalty, as he was willing to put himself in danger for the Rats by agreeing to try drugging the Fitzgibbons' cat Dragon, an act which ultimately cost him his life. He also was a very considerate mouse to his family as he didn't tell his wife or children that the experiments he went through at NIMH altered his biology to a degree that, had he not been slain by Dragon, he would've outlived them all due to slowed aging.

He is a cruel and unethical scientist who is revealed to be the head of the NIMH corporation. He originally used Martin for one of his neurological experiments and brainwashed him to insanity. It was not until Timmy made it to NIMH that Martin brainwashed him and made Dr. Valentine think that he was a dog. Dr. Valentine is a chief researcher at NIMH, and has come to the Fitzgibbons' farm to search, in and around it, for any of the escaped rats. He's brought one of his assistants with him, and they're both determined to find and capture as many rats as possible. It was revealed that he captured the lost six and did his experiments on them and brainwashed them, including the humans themselves which made him act like dogs. He brainwashed Martin and they initially worked together before Martin betrayed him by brainwashing him and made him think that he was a dog. He keeps the doctor in a cage somewhere and barely speaks of him.

Muriel and Floyd are the secondary antagonists They are a pair of stray cats who intend to eat the mice of NIMH under Martin's orders, particularly Timothy Brisby. Muriel and Floyd originally worked for Martin Brisby who has turned evil. Muriel & Floyd first appear as normal cats while they were singing in the alley, only to be thrown in the trash by the neighbors. However, Dr. Valentine, who was hypnotized by Martin, lures the cats with cat food. Later, Floyd and Muriel were hypnotized and were turned into big monstrous cats. Later in the film, Timothy, who is Martin's bribe's little brother, comes to rescue him. However, Timothy was forced to guard and watch if anyone comes, only for Muriel and Floyd to capture them. Muriel is a white furred female cat with dark paws, some orange tuft of hair and green eyes. Floyd is male tom cat with slate dust colored fur, lighter grey fur on his underbelly and around his face, three dark ringed fur around his front upper legs, his eyes are heterochromia with the left being a dark orange and the right being a dark blue. Personalities are: Snide, smart-mouthed, selfish, spoiled, bratty, loud-mouthed, cat-like, Floyd is a little dense and dim-witted, Muriel is snarky, voracious with happy to gulp down a mouse or any that Martin desires, and arrogant, loyal to Martin only. example dialogues for Muriel and Floyd:
Muriel: "Grr! Floyd! The boss will make a stew out of us if we hurt any of them!" Muriel grabs the rest of the three mice by their tails away from Floyd.
Floyd: "Muriel I don't want to hurt them. I merely want to eat them. ha ha ha!"
Muriel: "More recruits!"
Floyd: "Yes sir. And we didn't even eat any I wanted to make a lovely stew of course."
Muriel: "Put a sock in it Floyd!"
Muriel: "Hello. At least someone appreciates talent."
Floyd: "Wait! I'm the one with the talent!"
Floyd: "I'd say, I've caught a mouse. Hi."
Floyd: "Nah ah. May I devour and dissolve the thing to your desires, Martin?"

Martin is Timmy's brother and the second-oldest son of Mrs. Brisby. He was captured by NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health). He became insane when the doctors brainwashed him. After being made insane, Martin took over the lab and brainwashed Dr. Valentine with a device similar to the one Valentine used on him and made him think he was a dog. Martin plans to use an army of lab rats riding a flock of ravens to take over Thorn Valley.
He asks Timmy to join him, but he refuses and is locked in a cage as Martin drags Jenny (another mouse) away to try to make her his queen. Timmy escapes with the help of Cecil and they go to free Jenny. Together, they knock out Martin and Timmy tricks Martin's army of ravens and rats to fly in the wrong direction.
Timmy and Jenny then leave to find the others, only to find once everyone is free that NIMH is on fire. The survivors (Timmy, Jenny, and her parents, as well as Justin and Brutus) flee. Timmy goes back to save Martin. Before he leaves, Jenny tells him she loves him and he tells her the same.
After being attacked by the cats Muriel and Floyd once again, Timmy sends them down an elevator shaft and finally finds Martin, actually, Martin finds him. Timmy and Martin are able to escape through the lab's skylight, with some help from Jeremy. Jeremy takes the survivors to safety. The mice return to Thorn Valley, and Martin returns to normal.
At the beginning of the movie, Martin is very jealous of Timothy Brisby, his younger brother, for having been selected by Nicodemus as being the future hero when Martin feels he's much more the hero type than his brother. However, while Timmy is studying with the Rats of NIMH in Thorn Valley, Martin is kidnapped by NIMH researcher Dr. Valentine, who leads further experimentations on him, believing him to be a regular mouse. However, unbeknownst to him, Martin is already the son of a genetically-engineered mouse (the underground experiments where scientists injected rats and mice with special drugs that gave them human-like intelligence and long life, Martin's father, Jonathan Brisby was one of the mice), and the treatment he subjects him to makes him go completely mad and also evil, while also improving his intelligence to almost superhuman level. Having become a threatening mad scientist, Martin betrays and brainwashes Dr. Valentine and takes over the NIMH laboratory and tools, using them to create an army of rats and pigeons to take over Thorn Valley. However, his plan is foiled by Timothy, Martin having turned out to be the threat Nicodemus's prophecy was referring to. Martin has rats and other animals he has brainwashed into being loyal to him.
