For the past few years there has been an exponential increase in the use of animal models
to confirm the pathogenicity of candidate disease-causing genetic variants found in patients …

Zebrafish have a 50-year history as a model organism for studying vertebrate developmental
biology and more recently have emerged as a powerful model system for studying …

Although the toxicity of conventional microplastic types (ie, petroleum derivatives) in different
organisms is already known, knowledge about the effects of alternative biopolymers on …

Lead induced neurotoxicity has been extensively investigated. However, the potential

The zebrafish telencephalon is composed of highly specialized subregions that regulate
complex behaviors such as learning, memory, and social interactions. The transcriptional …

Social behaviors are essential for the survival and reproduction of social species. Many, if
not most, neuropsychiatric disorders in humans are either associated with underlying social …

The collective behavior of animal groups emerges from the interactions among individuals.
These social interactions produce the coordinated movements of bird flocks and fish …

Collective behavior, such as shoaling in teleost fish, is driven by the perceptual recognition
of conspecific animals. Because social interactions are mutual, it has been difficult to …
