10th One-day Zebrafish Behavioral Neuroscience and Neurophenotyping Workshop (ZB2N-2015)

Zebrafish are becoming a popular model organism for neuroscience research.

The 10th One-day Zebrafish Behavioral Neuroscience and Neurophenotyping Workshop (ZB2N-2015) is dedicated to major neurobehavioral domains and advanced phenotyping techniques for probing normal and pathological behaviors in zebrafish.

Key Topics

• General motor phenotypes
• Introduction to behavioral ecology of zebrafish
• Anxiety and fear-related behaviors
• Neurotoxicity models
• Memory and Learning
• Social phenotypes: shoaling and social preference
• Depression-like phenotypes
• Predator avoidance behavior
• Genetic/strain differences
• Drug abuse and withdrawal
• Advanced video-tracking and 3D phenotyping
• Aggression and boldness phenotypes
• Zebrafish models of psychoses
• High-throughput small molecule screens
• Measuring zebrafish body coloration responses
• Hallucinogenic and stimulant drugs’ effects
• Enhancing zebrafish research with online databases
• Biomarkers: CNS c-fos, egr, whole-body cortisol
