Debates about the advantages and limitations of animal models for psychiatric research do not usually involve behavioral disorders seen in veterinary practice. Nevertheless, naturally occurring behavioral symptoms in domestic animals may comprise important models or provide a valuable perspective for human psychiatric disorders. We review the promising but preliminary research in this area.
关于用于精神疾病研究的动物模型的优势与局限性的争论,通常并不涉及兽医实践中所见的行为障碍。然而,家畜中自然出现的行为症状可能构成重要模型,或为人类精神疾病提供有价值的视角。我们回顾了该领域有前景但尚处于初步阶段的研究。
