Opportunities and challenges in modeling human brain disorders in transgenic primates

TL;DR: The main focus is on the creation of new primate disease models for understanding the pathological mechanisms of brain disorders and for developing new approaches to effective treatment, but it is emphasized that primate genetic models have great potential to address many fundamental questions about brain function.

Animal Models of Nociception

TL;DR: It is concluded that although the neural basis of the most used tests is poorly understood, their use will be more profitable if pain is considered within, rather than apart from, the body's homeostatic mechanisms.

Stroke epidemiology: a review of population-based studies of incidence, prevalence, and case-fatality in the late 20th century.

TL;DR: The review shows that the burden of stroke is high and is likely to increase in future decades as a result of demographic and epidemiological transitions in populations and further research that uses the best possible methods are urgently needed in other populations of the world.
