摘要
In 1995, Landau et al.(1) documented the prevailing threats to animal research in Neuroreality I, which emphasized the importance of incorporating an understanding of biomedical research within the educational system. Two decades later, the threat against research involving animals has not receded but rather has escalated. It is therefore time to revisit these important issues. According to the Foundation for Biomedical Research, illegal incidents against researchers using animals rose from 6-27 events per year (1993-1997) to 76-103 per year (2003-2006).(2) This has occurred against the backdrop of exponential growth in neuroscience research and understanding of neurologic disease pathogenesis leading to innovative treatment strategies. These advances have occurred as a direct outgrowth of the seminal contributions of animal investigations. Therefore, the alarming trend of these direct attacks requires an appropriate response.
