    This review explores nonhuman primate models for understanding anxiety disorders. It details behavioral assessment methods crucial for research and veterinary care of these animals.

    Area of Science:

    • Comparative psychology
    • Neuroscience
    • Animal behavior

    Background:

    • Anxiety disorders are complex, multidimensional conditions requiring robust models for study.
    • Nonhuman primates offer unique biobehavioral capacities, bridging simpler models and human conditions.
    • Understanding anxiety mechanisms is vital for developing effective clinical treatments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review behavioral assessment procedures for studying anxiety in nonhuman primates.
    • To highlight the utility of nonhuman primate models in anxiety research.
    • To inform veterinary and research practices for captive nonhuman primates.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of established behavioral testing paradigms for anxiety in nonhuman primates.
    • Focus on ethologically relevant threat assessments and home environment evaluations.
