ENVIRONMENTAL CNS STIMULATION IN AGING, HEALTH AND DISEASE

The book explores the significant influence of social and environmental factors on health and disease throughout life. It highlights the ethical and scientific concerns surrounding the use of animals in biomedical research, particularly when they are kept in standard conditions that offer limited stimulation. This lack of consideration for the macroenvironment's effects on laboratory animals may compromise the relevance of these models for human diseases and cast doubt on the validity of preclinical evaluations of treatments.
