Zebrafish have become a popular animal model for behavioral genetics and to study the
effects of alcohol on the brain. The reported effects acute (short-term) and chronic (long …

The zebrafish has been in the forefront of developmental genetics for decades and has also
been gaining attention in neurobehavioral genetics. It has been proposed to model alcohol …

Chronic alcohol exposure affects the central nervous system, influences behavior, and
induces neuroadaptive changes in vertebrate species including our own. The molecular …

This chapter focuses on the behavioral analysis of alcohol induced functional changes in the
brain of zebrafish. It presents several recently developed behavioral paradigms …

Background: With the arsenal of genetic tools available for zebrafish, this species has been
successfully used to investigate the genetic aspects of human diseases from developmental …

Larval zebrafish are used extensively for developmental genetic studies due to their salient
features, such as small size, external development, optical transparency, and accessibility in …

The harmful consumption of ethanol is associated with significant health problems and
social burdens. This drug activates a complex network of reward mechanisms and habit …

Alcohol abuse and dependence are a rapidly growing problem with few treatment options
available. The zebrafish has become a popular animal model for behavioral neuroscience …

Zebra fish may be an ideal vertebrate model system for numerous human diseases with
which the genetics and biological mechanisms of the disease may be studied. Zebra fish …

The biological mechanisms that underlie fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) are
complex and poorly understood. This thesis aims to investigate potential underlying …
