Rats are commonly used as animal models in biomedical research due to their anatomical, physiological, and genetic similarities to humans. They are used to study a wide range of diseases and conditions, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurological disorders. They are also used in behavioral and cognitive studies to gain insight into human behavior and mental processes.
