This study uses larval zebrafish to assess the behavioral and neural effects of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids, identifying potential mechanisms and validating a scalable model for hazard assessment.

The paper uses virtual reality to assess behavioural changes in ADHD-linked adgrl3.1 mutant zebrafish, revealing heightened excitability and lower motor threshold.

This study investigates the combined effects of fentanyl and alcohol in larval zebrafish, finding robust hyperlocomotion and neural circuit disruption.

This study shows that knocking out lrrtm4l1 in zebrafish leads to more social behavior, including cohesive shoaling and reduced aggression.

This study shows environmental enrichment reduces anxiety and attention deficits but not impulsivity in adgrl3.1 knockout zebrafish, indicating genetic and environmental interactions in behavioral traits.

The paper examines how social isolation interacts with a genetic mutation to intensify both externalizing and internalizing behaviors in zebrafish.

This study examines spatiotemporal dynamics of locomotor decisions in Drosophila and humans, showing that future choices can be predicted through sustained locomotor signatures and highlighting the role of sensory and dopaminergic signaling.

This study identifies an insect-based diet as optimal for juvenile zebrafish growth and highlights the need for standardized feeding protocols to improve reproducibility and welfare.

This paper develops a standardised light/dark assay for 4 dpf zebrafish larvae to study behaviour, showing optimal transition periods and validating it with ethanol and transgenic larvae.

This study shows adgrl3.1-deficient zebrafish exhibit externalizing behaviors rescued by atomoxetine, and identifies differentially expressed genes linked to externalizing disorders.

This study shows that early-life stress in zebrafish affects anxiety-related behaviors and these effects are transgenerational across three generations.

The paper identifies Slit3 as a genetic locus influencing nicotine preference in zebrafish and smoking behavior in humans through mutagenesis screens and SNP analysis.

This paper introduces a fully automated Skinner box for testing learning and memory in zebrafish, enabling standardized behavioral assays for cognitive function studies.
