Animal models of mental disorders are important for the development of new treatment and biomarkers. Animal models should satisfy three validity criteria. The choice of species used for animal models depends on the purposes of the study. There are several established models of chromosomal abnormalities for autism and schizophrenia. Stress-induced animal models of depression are controversial. There have been no established models for bipolar disorder, but the authors recently proposed a genetic animal model showing recurrent spontaneous depression-like episodes. Optogenetic manipulation of neural circuit is also used for modeling of mental disorders. Progress in psychiatric genetics will lead to the generation of valid animal models of psychiatric disorders.

Damage to the peripheral vestibular system can result in debilitating postural, perceptual, and visual symptoms. A potential new treatment for this clinical problem is to replace some aspects of peripheral vestibular function with an implant that senses head motion and provides this information to the brain by stimulating branches of the vestibular nerve. In this review I consider animal studies performed at our institution over the past 15 years, which have helped elucidate how the brain processes information provided by a vestibular (semicircular canal) implant and how this information could be used to improve the problems experienced by patients with peripheral vestibular damage.

Abstract Heart disease is a major cause of death worldwide with increasing prevalence, which urges the development of new therapeutic strategies. Over the last few decades, numerous small animal models have been generated to mimic various pathomechanisms contributing to heart failure (HF). Despite some limitations, these animal models have greatly advanced our understanding of the pathogenesis of the different aetiologies of HF and paved the way to understanding the underlying mechanisms and development of successful treatments. These models utilize surgical techniques, genetic modifications, and pharmacological approaches. The present review discusses the strengths and limitations of commonly used small animal HF models, which continue to provide crucial insight and facilitate the development of new treatment strategies for patients with HF.
