High throughput screening in zebrafish behavioral research

Christine — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 16:27:10 +0000

Zebrafish are increasingly swimming into the view of large-scale drug screening projects. Behavioral screens can be used as a first-line detection tool for new drug effects, and their popularity continues to grow. Translating results to what we might see in humans requires an appropriate (vertebrate) model suited for large-scale studies. This is a tall order, but [...]

A “Depressed” Zebrafish: New insights presented at SfN

Christine — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 21:26:01 +0000

Depression affects more than 120 million people world wide (according to the World Health Organization), and the cost of treatment is estimated at 30 billion dollars each year. At this year’s SfN meeting in San Diego, Dr. Herwig Baier presented some very interesting findings: Dr. Baier and his team found that disrupting the stress response in [...]

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Scientific Classification

Christine — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 03:30:01 +0000

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) belongs to: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Acrinopterygii Order: Cypriniformes Family: Cyprinidae Genus: Danio Species: Danio rerio The following phylogenetic tree shows the relationship between Danio rerio and a portion of other Danio and Devario species. The phylogenetic relationships depicted above were inferred maximum likelihood analyses of 12S and 16S mtDNA. Numbers above branches are support values from Bayesian analysis [...]

JoVE Zebrafish protocol alert: Zebrafish Brain Ventricle Injection

Christine — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 17:12:39 +0000

Since I have last posted, there are some new video articles on JoVE involving zebrafish research. A team at MIT published a video protocol showing how to do injections in the zebrafish brain ventricle. This can aid in the study of ventricle formation and morphology. When studying the effect of teratogens, it could also be [...]

Do You Need a Virtual Lab-Notebook?

Christine — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 15:57:55 +0000

When keeping research notes, I use a traditional lab notebook. But, more than once I have been tempted to take the time and work out my notes on a computer to keep better track of everything. The benefits of a traditional paper notebook are simple: Easy to carry around to any research environment (especially in fish [...]
