... This paper reports on a carefully controlled series of 4 groups of experiments using animal models, examining head and spinal cord injuries. In the first group of experiments, animals were subjected to both direct single and repeated applications of direct controlled impact to the head, using...

... of an animal model appropriate as a surrogate for man, and its validation. Test animals are frequently chosen on the basis of convenience, cost, or other characteristics (e.g., sensitivity) rather than because of their similarity to man. This is particularly important in combustion toxicology, where one test...
