title: Basic neuroscience research with nonhuman primates: a small but indispensable component of biomedical research.
abstract: Research with nonhuman primates represents a small component of neuroscience with far-reaching relevance that is irreplaceable for essential insights into cognitive functions, brain disease, and therapy. Transparency and widespread information about this research and its importance is central to ensure the support of politicians and the general public.
