Introduction to zebrafish: Current discoveries and emerging technologies for neurobehavioral toxicology and teratology

An introduction to neurobehavioral toxicology.

The stated objectives of these Target Organ Toxicity Symposia are to review the morphology, physiology, and biochemistry of the particular organ system, describe means used to assess toxicity, evaluate tests used for this assessment, and finally, to propose the application of recent advances to the development of practical test procedures. Basically, the intent is to discuss ways of evaluating ...

Neurobehavioral Toxicology

The adverse effects of exposure to neurotoxic chemicals on the brain manifest themselves behaviorally as changes inmood and in cognitive function. Neuropsychological testing has emerged as a means of documenting and measuring these changes. This methodology has several advantages for use in both the clinical diagnosis of chemically induced disorders and the epidemiologic investigation of neurot...

The zebrafish embryo model in toxicology and teratology, September 2–3, 2010, Karlsruhe, Germany.

The use of fish embryos is gaining popularity for research in the area of toxicology and teratology. Particularly embryos of the zebrafish offer an array of different applications ranging from regulatory testing to mechanistic research. For this reason a consortium of two research centres and a company with the support of the COST Action EuFishBiomed has organised the Workshop “The zebrafish em...
