Beagle dogs are commonly used in preclinical research and neuroscience as the preferred canine model for safety studies. The central nervous system is often a target for pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and chemicals, and a deep knowledge of the gross and microscopic anatomy of the beagle brain is mandatory for anatomic pathologists and neuroscience researchers in order to assess the safety of innovative medicinal and industrial chemicals, or to investigate new mechanisms of action.
