Abstract
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) offers important insights into neurobiology of brain disorders and normal and pathological behavior. In this comprehensive (27-chapter) book, leading experts in the field provide detailed behavioral protocols for behavioral neuroscience research using larval and adult zebrafish models. The chapters discuss the use and interpretation of video-aided quantification of zebrafish behaviors, describe novel assays commonly used to quantify emotionality, learning, memory, and social behaviors in zebrafish. Written in the Neuromethods series format, the chapters provide authoritative reviews of many commonly used approaches in the field today. This book will be a useful practical guide for zebrafish researchers and will complement another book from this series, Zebrafish Neurobehavioral Protocols (Vol. 51), to illustrate the rapidly growing potential of zebrafish in translational biomedical research.
