Zebrafish Models in Neurobehavioral Research
by Kalueff, Allan V., Cachat, Jonathan M.

Animal models have traditionally played a crucial role in improving our understanding of brain pathogenesis. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have generated considerable discoveries in the areas of genetics, embryology, endocrinology, and neuroscience. Zebrafish Models in Neurobehavioral…

The Zebrafish in Biomedical Research
"[This book] is a comprehensive work that fulfills a critical need for a thorough compilation of information on this species. The text provides significant updates for working vivarium professionals maintaining zebrafish colonies, veterinarians responsible for their care and wel…
Nervous systems have evolved to combine environmental information with internal state to select and generate adaptive behavioral sequences. To better understand these computations and their neural implementation, natural behavior must be carefully measured and quantified. Here w…
The aim of this project was to determine the role of contraction in skeletal muscle development. The role of the initial spontaneous contractions observed in zebrafish embryos from 17 to 24 hours post fertilisation was examined. Genetic and pharmacologic approaches were used to …
Tobacco addiction is a leading preventable cause of death worldwide and places a heavy social and financial burden on society. There exists a substantial genetic variability in smoking behavior, the mechanisms of which are largely unknown. Despite significant advances in sequenc…
A vital ability for an animal is to filter the constant flow of sensory input from the environment to focus on the most important information. Attention is used to prioritize sensory input for adaptive responses. The role of attention in visual search has been studied extensivel…
