Behavioral genetics in larval zebrafish: learning from the young.
Deciphering the genetic code that determines how the vertebrate nervous system assembles into neural circuits that ultimately control behavior is a fascinating and challenging question in modern neurobiology. Because of the complexity of this problem, successful strategies require a simple yet focused experimental approach without limiting the scope of the discovery. Unbiased, large-scale forwa...
متن کاملReverse genetics in zebrafish.
The zebrafish has become a popular model system for the study of vertebrate developmental biology because of its numerous strengths as a molecular genetic and embryological system. To determine the requirement for specific genes during embryogenesis, it is necessary to generate organisms carrying loss-of-function mutations. This can be accomplished in zebrafish through a reverse genetic approac...
متن کاملZebrafish genetics: Mutant cornucopia
The initial characterization of mutations from the large-scale mutagenesis of the zebrafish genome has been reported. What new insights will we gain about vertebrate development from these studies?
متن کاملBehavioral screening for neuroactive drugs in zebrafish.
The larval zebrafish has emerged asa vertebrate model system amenable to small molecule screens for probing diverse biological pathways. Two large-scale small molecule screens examined the effects of thousands of drugs on larval zebrafish sleep/wake and photomotor response behaviors. Both screens identified hundreds of molecules that altered zebrafish behavior in distinct ways. The behavioral p...
