Modeling of stress and anxiety in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) is increasingly utilized in
neuroscience research and central nervous system (CNS) drug discovery. Representing the …

Antidepressants are one of the most commonly prescribed pharmaceutical classes for the
treatment of psychiatric conditions. They act via modulation of brain monoaminergic …

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) have been found in surface waters
worldwide, but little is understood of their effects on the wildlife that inhabit these waters …

The effects of wall color stimuli on diving, and the effects of depth stimuli on scototaxis, were
assessed in zebrafish. Three groups of fish were confined to a black, a white, or a …

Abstract Neurons using serotonin (5-HT) as neurotransmitter and/or modulator have been
identified in the central nervous system in representatives from all vertebrate clades …

Technological innovation has helped the zebrafish embryo gain ground as a disease model
and an assay system for drug screening. Here, we review the use of zebrafish embryos and …

There is growing interest in zebrafish as a model organism in behavioral pharmacology
research. Several anxiety behaviors have been characterized in zebrafish, but the effect of …

Neurotransmission is the basis of neuronal communication and is critical for normal brain
development, behavior, learning, and memory. Exposure to drugs and chemicals can alter …

Zebrafish larvae are ideally suited for high-throughput analyses of vertebrate behavior. The
larvae can be examined in multiwell plates and display a range of behaviors during early …
