This chapter answers three basic questions, which are: (1) Why build models, (2) why build models of fragile X syndrome, and (3) what has been learned from the models of fragile X syndrome that have been made? The first question is used to frame the other two questions, providing the appropriate context by which the rest of the book should be examined. Of necessity the last two questions are only addressed briefly, and from one man's point of view, as they contain the subject matter of the entirety of the book. Thus, the reader is introduced to the various topics under review and urged to read for him/herself their contents, drawing such conclusions as he/she thinks are warranted. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
