Exploring the Validity of Valproic Acid Animal Model of Autism
Experimental Neurobiology, 2015 The valproic acid (VPA) animal model of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one of the most widely used animal model in the field. Like any other disease models, it can't model the totality of the features seen in autism. Then, is it valid to model autism?

Validating Animal Models [PDF]
THEORIA. An International Journal for Theory, History and Foundations of Science, 2015 In this paper, I respond to the challenge raised against contemporary experimental neurobiology according to which the field is in a state of crisis because of the multiple experimental protocols employed in different laboratories and strengthening their reliability that presumably preclude the validity of neurobiological knowledge.

Freshwater Planarians as an Alternative Animal Model for Neurotoxicology.
Toxicological Sciences, 2015 Traditional toxicology testing has relied on low-throughput, expensive mammalian studies; however, timely testing of the large number of environmental toxicants requires new in vitro and in vivo platforms for inexpensive medium- to high-throughput ...

Power-law versus exponential distributions of animal group sizes [PDF]
, 2003 There has been some confusion concerning the animal group-size: an exponential distribution was deduced by maximizing the entropy; lognormal distributions were practically used; a power-law decay with exponent {3/2} was proposed in physical analogy to ...

Animal models of sarcopenia [PDF]
Aging Cell, 2020 AbstractSarcopenia is the age‐related decline in muscle mass and function without any underlying disease. The exact molecular mechanisms responsible for this pathology remain unknown. The use of model organisms, such as mice, rats, flies, and worms, has advanced the field of sarcopenia research by identifying therapeutic strategies and genetic ...

Molecular Model of the Contractile Ring
, 2005 We present a model for the actin contractile ring of adherent animal cells. The model suggests that the actin concentration within the ring and consequently the power that the ring exerts both increase during contraction.
