Why Establish Animal Models Related to Neurological Diseases

Most people will be affected by neurological disorders throughout their lives, and few treatments are available to slow or stop the progression of the disease.

Due to the complexity of human diseases and the ethical and methodological constraints of medical research, it is difficult to promote the development of medicine based on human beings.

Animal models serve as "microcosms" of human disease and provide the basis for preclinical basic science research into disease mechanisms and the development of potential therapies. Rapid advances in animal modeling have led to numerous advances in the underlying mechanisms and understanding of many central nervous system diseases.
