Relationships between animals and humans have always been a mixed bag of need and fascination over differences and similarities. For generations humans have used animals as personal companions, work support and to understand themselves better and sometimes to the disadvantage of the animals. Primates are human’s closest relatives genetically and in social behavior relations. This makes them the best option to study and learn more about human psychology and the nervous system Through neurobiology, in the end the use of animals for research would also bring a new realization to our relationship with them and their care and treatment during research.
In her book, We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler, we learn about two sisters, Fern and Rose, but these sisters are different than what most people would consider normal sisters, the difference being, …show more content…
This work would be used over the next seventy years. (Nobel Prize, 2016) Neurobiology also includes the study of language in primates and the development of vaccines and studies on the effects of the immune system. In a study done in 2000 titled, “Early social deprivation in nonhuman primates: long-term effects on survival and cell-mediated immunity” which was an experiment on non-primates and the effects of maternal separation of baby rhesus monkeys and the effect on the immune system. (Lewis, el al) The study resulted in the understanding of how the lack of intimate contact affects the long-term well being of the babies. Thus helping scientist to understand how separation of a newborn human baby and how they can be affected over a life time not only mentally but physically. It is not uncommon for studies like these to lead to other studies to develop medications to treat conditions in children or
