Social Support Interventions
Social Support and Research Opportunities
Animal and clinical studies are needed to test the effects of social support interventions on neural pathways and immune function. I can understand why animal and clinical studies would be use to understand neural pathways and immune function, because rodents present with the closes respones of humans. One such study entitled “Using cross-species comparisons and a neurobiological framework to understand early social deprivation effects on behavioral development,” utilizes animals in research because it would be unethical and costly to conduct it on a humans. It is known that individuals that lack social support are more prone to morbidity and mortality, but to undestand the early lifes effects could
