Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are rapidly emerging as a useful animal model in neurobehavioral
research. Mounting evidence shows the suitability of zebrafish to model various aspects of …

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 …

One of the most commonly used behavioral endpoints measured in preclinical studies using
rodent models is thigmotaxis (or “wall-hugging”). Thigmotaxis is a well-validated index of …

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are rapidly becoming a popular model organism in translational
neuroscience and biological psychiatry research. Here we discuss conceptual, practical and …

Microplastics (MPs) are a big and growing environmental concern, with studies showing
sublethal to acute biological impacts on typical aquatic organisms. However, little is known …

The scototaxis test has been introduced recently to assess anxiety-like phenotypes in fish,
including zebrafish. Parametric analyses suggest that scototaxis represents an approach …

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are becoming increasingly popular in neurobehavioral research.
Here, we summarize recent data on behavioral responses of adult zebrafish to a wide …

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 …

Due to the fish-specific genome duplication event (~ 320–350 mya), some genes which
code for serotonin proteins were duplicated in teleosts; this duplication event was preceded …

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical monomer widely used in the production of hard plastics for
food containers and personal items. Through improper industrial control and disposal, BPA …
