摘要:"Expanding on the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, this new book provides current best practices for animal care and use and discusses how the regulations and guidelines provided by the Guide, the Animal Welfare Act, the USDA Animal Welfare Regulations, and PHS Policy can be applied to neuroscience and behavioral research. Each chapter provides advice for common situations in neuroscience and behavioral research that can pose difficulties." "Guidelines for the Care and Use of Mammals in Neuroscience and Behavioral Research treats the development, evaluation, and implementation of animal-use protocols as a decision-making process, not just a decision. It encourages the use of professional judgment and careful interpretation of regulations and guidelines to develop performance standards that ensure animal well-being and high-quality research. This book will be an indispensable resource for researchers, veterinarians, and institutional animal care and use committees."--Jacket.
