Current Protocols in Pharmacology, 2004
AbstractAnimal tests of anxiety are used to screen novel compounds for anxiolytic or anxiogenic activity, to investigate the neurobiology of anxiety, and to assess the impact of other occurrences such as exposure to predator odors or early rearing experiences. This unit presents protocols for the most commonly used animal tests of anxiety.

A configuration of unit cubes in three dimensions with integer coordinates is called an animal if the boundary of their union is homeomorphic to a sphere. Shermer discovered several animals from which no single cube may be removed such that the resulting configurations are also animals [14]. Here we obtain a dual result: we give an example of an animal

Contact hypersensitivity: Animal tests
Toxicology in Vitro, 1994After reviewing general aspects and the historical development of predictive animal skin sensitization tests, the recommended tests of the OECD and EC are discussed. Background information is given on the changes that have occurred during the last 2 yr. Although many factors are known to influence induction and elicitation of contact allergy in animals,

TRADITIONAL ANIMAL SCREENING TESTS
Acta Endocrinologica, 1974ABSTRACT It is fundamental that before new chemicals may enter the environment of man, they should seem to be (i) desirable and (ii) reasonably safe. Although new chemicals should be treated as separate entities, there is little evidence in general terms to suggest that there is an alternative to screening tests in intact animals, despite the ...

Assessing tests of animal consciousness
Consciousness and Cognition, 2022Which animals have conscious experiences? Many different, diverse and unrelated behaviors and cognitive capacities have been proposed as tests of the presence of consciousness in an animal. It is unclear which of these tests, if any, are valid. To remedy this problem, I develop a list consisting of eight desiderata which can be used to assess putative ...

TESTING CHEMICALS on animals for human toxicity should be greatly reduced and can potentially be eliminated in favor of experiments using cells, cell lines, or cellular components, says a National Research Council report released last week. Advances in systems biology and methods to test cells and tissues are fundamentally changing the way scientists ...

Beyond Animal Testing Index: Benchmarking tool for a world beyond animal testing [PDF]
ALTEXWhile the original definition of replacement focuses on the replacement of the use of animals in science, a more contemporary definition focuses on accelerating the development and use of predictive and robust models, based on the latest science and technologies, to address scientific questions without the use of animals.

0 ANIMALS have been used and abused by man for all manner of reasons, since the first erect human took a club and cracked the skull of some stray creature for food. They have been eaten, turned into clothing, used as motor vehicles and worked as tools. Most recently, they have substituted for man in the laboratory.
