Animals Models

Non-Human Primates

National Center for Research Resources - Primate Resources - The National Primate Research Center (NPRC) facilities and resources enable NPRC staff scientists and investigators from the host institution and others across the country to collaborate on their research projects involving non-human primates.

 

Mouse (Mus musculus)

Mouse models of Parkinson's disease (PD) {under construction} - The NINDS web site provides information about relevant PD research utilizing the mouse as an animal model.

The Jackson Laboratory - Parkinson's Disease Mouse Model Resource - The Repository distributes Parkinson’s disease models that are useful for the study of the basic pathophysiology of PD, and for testing new therapies.

My Mouse.Org - The goal of mymouse.org is to accelerate discovery of gene function and the development of novel mutant mouse models of disease by linking laboratories actively screening for specific phenotypes, and to researchers with genetically defined mouse mutants available for study.

Mutant Mouse Regional Resource Centers (MMRRC) - A repository of mouse stocks and ES cell line collections, supported by the NCRR-NIH, serving the world-wide genetics and biomedical research community for the benefit of human health.

Gene Expression Nervous System Atlas (GENSAT) - The GENSAT project, funded by NINDS, aims to map the expression of genes in the central nervous system of the mouse, using both in situ hybridization and transgenic mouse techniques.
