A study on behaviour of zebra fish
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract: In neurobehavioral research, animal model have played a crucial role in yielding experimental data as well as, in the development of new insights and theories of brain pathogenesis. Researchers are always trying to develop novel animal models to understand fundamental features of physiological, behavioural and psychological disorders. Zebra fish (Danio rerio) is now considered globally as a new and useful model in biomedical research. Zebra fish is an excellent alternative to mammalian animal model because it does not possess the complex behavioural phenotype exhibited by many other animal models and yields robust responses analogous to humans. In this study, behaviour of zebra fish was evaluated by using various behavioural paradigms. Keywords: Zebra fish, alternative animal model, biomedical research.
