<unk> , sometimes<unk>  allergic<unk>  <unk>  is an animal model of brain inflammation. It is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). It is mostly used with rodents and is widely studied as an animal model of the human CNS demyelinating diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and acute disseminated<unk>  (ADEM).<unk>  is also the prototype for T-cell-mediated<unk>  disease in general.<unk>  was motivated by observations during the convalescence from viral diseases by Thomas M. Rivers, D. H. Sprunt and G. P. Berry in 1933. Their findings upon a transfer of inflamed patient tissue to primates was published in the Journal of<unk>  Medicine. An acute monophasic illness, it has been suggested that<unk>  is far more similar to ADEM than MS.
