to the Animal Models Volumes This and several other volumes in the
Neuromethods series will describe a number of animal models of
neuropsychiatric disorders. Because of increasing public concern
over the ethical treatment of animals in research, we felt it
incumbent upon us to include this general preface to these volumes
in order to indicate why we think further - search using animals is
necessary and why animal models of psychiatric disorders, in
particular, are so important. We recognize that animals should only
be used when suitable alternatives are not available. We think it
self-e- dent, however, that humans can only be experimented upon in
severely proscribed circumstances and alternative pro- dures using
cell or tissue culture are inadequate in any models requiring
assessments of behavioral change or of complex in vivo processes.
However, when the distress, discomfort, or pain to the animals
outweighs the anticipated gains for human welfare, then the
research is not ethical and should not be carried out. It is
imperative that each individual researcher examine his/her own
research from a critical moral standpoint - fore engaging in it,
taking into consideration the animals' welfare as well as the
anticipated gains. Furthermore, once a decision to proceed with
research is made, it is the researcher's responsibility to ensure
that the animals' w- fare is of prime concern in terms of
appropriate housing, feeding, and maximum reduction of any
uncomfortable or distressing effects of the experimental
conditions, and that these conditions undergo frequent formalized
monitoring.
