This study aimed to develop and characterize a novel (standard) open field test adapted for
larval zebrafish. We also developed and characterized a variant of the same assay …

The light/dark preference test is commonly used to assess anxiety-like phenotypes and
validate the pharmacological effects of neuroactive compounds. This test has been recently …

The light-dark preference task has been commonly used in rodents to screen for anxiogenic
and anxiolytic drugs. However, recent adaptations of the light-dark preference test for …

The open tank paradigm, also known as novel tank diving test, is a protocol used to evaluate
the zebrafish behavior. Several characteristics have been described for this species …

The light–dark preference test has been extensively used to screen anxiolytic drugs and
investigate mechanisms of anxiety with rodents. Recently, this task has been adapted to …

The light/dark box test, traditionally used to quantify rodent anxiety-like behavior, has
recently been applied to the adult zebrafish (Danio rerio). Utilizing the fish's scototaxis …

Wild-type (WT) zebrafish are commonly used in behavioral tests, but the term WT is not a
precise description, and corresponds to many different strains (eg, AB, TU, WIK, and others) …

The recent introduction of tasks to assess the behavior of zebrafish in novel and/or aversive
environments has spurred great interest, prompting attempts to determine which constructs …

Rationale Triangulation of approaches (ie, using several tests of the same construct) can be
extremely useful for increasing the robustness of the findings being widely used when …

We investigate the behavioural responses of wild type (WT) and leopard (leo) zebrafish
elicited by alarm substances of conspecifics at three contexts: during the exposure period …
