Progress on Application of Rhesus Monkeys in Human Nervous and Mental Diseases Research

Abstract

Abstract: An animal model for research of human nervous and mental diseases should accurately reproduce the various aspects of disease. Rhesus monkey is closely related to humans in terms of anatomy, genetics and physiology, and represents an excellent animal model to study several of neurological diseases. This belief may be based on particular evidence or it may be inferred from the similarities between the animal model and humans. This article mainly discussed the applications of rhesus monkey used in research on nervous and mental disease in human.

Key words: Rhesus monkey, Nervous and mental disease, Animal model
