A great challenge in neuroscience is understanding how activity in the brain gives rise to
behavior. The zebrafish is an ideal vertebrate model to address this challenge, thanks to the …

The occurrence of neuroactive chemicals in the aquatic environment is on the rise and
poses a potential threat to aquatic biota of currently unpredictable outcome. In particular …

Understanding how the nervous system recognizes salient stimuli in the environment and
selects and executes the appropriate behavioral responses is a fundamental question in …

Most vertebrates process visual information using elaborately structured photosensory
tissues, including the eyes and pineal. However, there is strong evidence that other tissues …

Simultaneous recordings of large populations of neurons in behaving animals allow detailed
observation of high-dimensional, complex brain activity. However, experimental approaches …

This review provides an overview of the assays that are used for measuring escape and
avoidance behavior in zebrafish, with a specific focus on zebrafish larvae during the first …

Visual stimuli can evoke complex behavioral responses, but the underlying streams of
neural activity in mammalian brains are difficult to follow because of their size. Here, I review …

Whole organism–based small-molecule screens have proven powerful in identifying novel
therapeutic chemicals, yet this approach has not been exploited to identify new cognitive …

The ability to make choices and carry out appropriate actions is critical for individual survival
and well-being. Choice behaviors, from hard-wired to experience-dependent, have been …

Zebrafish have great potential to contribute to our understanding of behavioral genetics and
thus to contribute to our understanding of the etiology of psychiatric disease. However …
