Hi John, what about using Caspi's study & 5HTT gene? Would that be ok to answer the question regarding reductionism?
ReductionismDear Amy A good question. The question is looking for knowledge of why we use animal models. I would, in this case, start off with the example. For example, the use of rats in OCD research, the use of rats in memory research,...
