Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are rapidly becoming a popular model organism for neuroscience research.
The 5th One-day Zebrafish Behavioral Neuroscience and Neurophenotyping Workshop 2013 is dedicated to advanced phenotyping techniques and major neurobehavioral domains for probing pathological and normal behaviors in zebrafish, including:
- Genetic/strain differences
- Enhancing zebrafish research with online databases
- Aggression and boldness phenotypes
- Hallucinogenic and stimulant drugs’ effects
- Memory and Learning
- Anxiety and fear-related behaviors
- Advanced video-tracking and 3D phenotyping
- Biomarkers: c-fos and egr, whole-body cortisol
- Social phenotypes: shoaling and social preference
- Drug abuse and withdrawal
- High-throughput small molecule screens
- General motor phenotypes
- Predator avoidance behavior
- Neurotoxicity models
- Measuring zebrafish body coloration responses
- Introduction to behavioral ecology of zebrafish
- Zebrafish models of psychoses
- Depression-like phenotypes
