Dr. Cliodhna Quigley, German Primate Center, Göttingen, talks about her research on visual attention in rhesus monkeys.
A big part of the work is the handling and training of the monkeys and she explains how important it is for the animals to be relaxed.
EARA member, the Spanish Society for Laboratory Animal Sciences (SECAL) has created a video (in Spanish) with examples of the benefits of the biomedical animal research.
