摘要: Genetically engineered mice have been generated to model a variety of neurological disorders. Several these models provided valuable insights into the pathogenesis relevant diseases; however, they rarely reproduced all, or even most, features observed in corresponding human conditions. Here, we review challenges that must be faced when attempting accurately reproduce brain disorders mice, and discuss some ways overcome them. Building on knowledge gathered from study existing mutants, recent progress phenotyping mutant anticipate better methods for preclinical interventional trials significant advances understanding treatment diseases.
