Traditional biomedical models are easy to manage in experimental facilities and allow fast
and affordable basic genetic studies related to human disorders, but in some cases they do …

The use of pigs in neuroscience research has increased in the past decade, which has seen
broader recognition of the potential of pigs as an animal for experimental modeling of …

The pig model is increasingly used in the field of neuroscience because of the similarities of
its brain with human. This review presents the peculiarities of the anatomy and functions of …

Increasing incidence of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and
