Contemporary Perspectives on the Development of Australia’s Animal Research Regulation
… historical and current practices in Australian animal research. I address: (i) considerations in animal model choice; (ii) Australian regulatory structures in animal research; (iii) transparency in Australian animal research; and (iv) transnational comparisons of these themes. I review the …

Curating and summarising data from animal research on neurodevelopment at scale
… environmental factors, some NDCs are monogenic; animals with targeted alterations in homologous genes can be used as models to provide a foundational knowledge of the biological mechanisms underlying brain development and avenues for testing potential therapeutics. Complexities in animal …

Utilitarianism and Buddist ethics: a comparative approach to the ethics of animal research
… and Buddhist ethics as they can be applied to animal research. It begins by examining some of the general discussions surrounding the use of animals in research. The historical views on the moral status of animals, the debate surrounding their use in animals, as well as the current 3R paradigm …

Monkey see, monkey do? An intercultural exploration of the dynamics between humans and non-human primates in a professional animal research setting
… a group of non-human primates in a professional animal research setting. The study is a novel investigation in the field of intercultural relations, exploring the values and beliefs of a group of research employees, and the intercultural competence and sensitivity these employees model in their …

The epidemiology of ovine progressive pneumonia (ovine lentivirus): Diagnosis, risk factor analysis, and production effects in sheep at the United States Meat Animal Research Center
… natural OLV infection in flocks at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) in Nebraska. Three OLV recombinant proteins (transmembrane (TM), major capsid P25, and matrix P16) were produced in E. coli and purified for use as antigen for anti-OLV antibody detection by indirect enzyme-linked …

Compassion Fatigue and Satisfaction in U.S. Army Laboratory Animal Medicine Personnel
… fatigue has been identified as a concern in animal care professions, specifically veterinary medicine. Despite the perceived increased risk of compassion fatigue in veterinary personnel in animal research, no rigorous studies have been published to assess compassion fatigue in the population. …

EMOTIONAL MODELS: UNCERTAINTY AND THE ETHICS OF ANIMAL EXPERIMENTATION IN NEUROSCIENCE
… stress disorder (PTSD) discuss the value of animal research. Since the mid-2000s, the field of animal experimentation has undergone changes as researchers published several studies addressing neuroscience’s challenges with replicating and translating animal research. Around this time, major …

Personality and affiliation involving a cooperative task in bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops Truncatus) Dyads
… and each other. My findings could guide future animal research on the relationship between personality, social interactions, and problem-solving.

THE ETHICS OF PAIN: MORAL STATUS, EMOTION, COGNITION, AND THE LAW OF LABORATORY ANIMALS IN PAIN RESEARCH
Pain research is often conducted on neurologically developed animals in order to develop treatments for human pain. The experience of pain involves the physical perception of pain, along with the mental states of emotion and cognition. Pain research is an ethically significant issue as it can cause …

SITUATION MOUSE ALL FLOXED UP: EXPLORING PHENOTYPIC ABNORMALITIES IN BDNF FLOXED MICE
<p>Animal research is a contentious topic in both the scientific and general communities. It is essential that our animal models accurately and predictably depict intended phenotypes, necessitating careful colony monitoring and maintenance. Volunteer animal staff in the Ottem Laboratory became …

Meta-Analysis of Rodent Behavior in Various Brain Injury and Disease Models
… assay data to inform methodology of future animal research. Domains of spatial learning, motor function, activity, and emotionality were examined. This study first identified how rodent performance on commonly used behavioral and neurocognitive assays varies by species, sex, and age. …

From Geometry to Classical
… time, humans had intimate relationships with animals, including horses. Even today, where the utility of the horse is no longer important, people still love to engage with horses on many levels. From this perspective, a horse is in a way a symbol that syncretize ancient and modern times. A …

Recognizing the Other: Training's Ability to Improve Other Race Individuation
… Discrimination training regimes derived from animal research for use in humans have demonstrated efficacy at improving discrimination of novel stimuli after several hours of training because participants are motivated to remember the face as an individual. The current study tested a shortened …

A neuroimaging investigation of the association between aerobic fitness, hippocampal volume and memory performance in preadolescent children
… public health and educational implications. Animal research has indicated that aerobic exercise is related to increased cell proliferation and survival in the hippocampus as well as enhanced hippocampal-dependent learning and memory. Recent evidence extends this relationship to elderly humans …

Enhanced visualization of retinal pathologies with ultrahigh resolution optical coherence tomography
… resolution OCT systems have been developed for animal research and clinical ophthalmology. Ultrahigh resolution OCT improves the axial resolution of OCT from the standard 10 [mu]m to 1 [mu]m for animal studies and 3 [mu]m for clinical studies. This improved imaging resolution approaches that of …

The ethics of animal experimentation: the Littlewood report
… defence of a laissez-faire approach to animal experimentation is ethically indefensible on grounds that non-human animals are sentient, autonomous beings who express an acute interest in their continued existence and demonstrate an aversion to the frustration of their interests; as such, …

Towards a more ethical animal model in biomedical research
… standard mammalian model organism for biomedical research. When pain relief is provided during experimentation, it typically comes in the form of transient and sometimes ineffective analgesics or anesthesia. This thesis proposes an alternative to the current method of research in the form of an …

THE BEHAVIORAL AND PHARMACOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF CAFFEINE ON THE CONSUMPTION AND HEDONIC EVALUATION OF SUCROSE SOLUTIONS
… for sucrose pellet rewards in rats. However, no animal research has examined the impact that caffeine has on the hedonic evaluation and licking microstructure of sweet solutions. In this thesis, the effect of caffeine on the intake and licking microstructure of rats offered a 10% sucrose solution …

Behavioural Ecology of Large Tuna
Animal behaviour operates at the intersection of physiological capacity and ecological constraints, making it a sensitive biomarker for stressor impacts. However, understanding behavioural responses requires monitoring at temporal resolutions matching the biological processes of interest, from …
