Anxiolytic effects of nicotine have been documented in studies with rodents and humans.
Understanding the neural basis of nicotine-induced anxiolysis can help both with …

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have been widely used to study the molecular mechanisms of
development including neurodevelopment. More recently, they have begun to be used to …

Introduction: Zebrafish are emerging as a powerful animal model for studying the molecular
and physiological effects of nicotine exposure. The zebrafish have many advantageous …

Rationale Nicotine has been shown in many, but not all, studies to improve cognitive
function in a number of species including rats, mice, monkeys, and humans. Recently, we …

Zebrafish can provide a valuable animal model to screen potential cognitive enhancing and
anxiolytic drugs. They are economical and can provide a relatively quick indication of …

Rationale Nicotine improves cognitive function in a number of animal models including rats,
mice, monkeys, and recently, zebrafish. The zebrafish model allows higher throughput and …

Zebrafish are becoming more widely used to study neurobehavioral pharmacology. We
have developed a method to assess novel environment diving behavior of zebrafish as a …

Anxiety disorders are a group of crippling mental diseases affecting millions of Americans
with a 30% lifetime prevalence and costs associated with healthcare of $42.3 billion. While …

Zebrafish are an emerging model for the study of the molecular mechanisms of brain
function. To conduct studies of the neural bases of behavior in zebrafish, we must …

Smoking appears to increase overall levels of stress, despite self-reports that men and
women smoke to control symptoms of anxiety. The overall incidence of anxiety disorders is …
