Janelia researchers thought that traditional ways of testing learning in larval zebrafish in the lab -- where the conditions were far from what the fish would encounter in the wild -- might not be ...

A new fully automated in vivo screening system (AISS) has been developed to transform drug evaluation by enabling rapid, ...

Preclinical drug evaluation, especially for cardiotoxicity, is a critical stage in the drug development process.

A new fully automated in vivo screening system (AISS) has been developed to transform drug evaluation by enabling rapid, precise, and non-invasive ...

3. Impact of any genetic mutation or drug treatment is easy to see The transparent nature of zebrafish embryos and larvae allows for non-invasive observation of genetic mutations or drug effects, ...

They are therefore easy to keep in large numbers in aquariums. A zebrafish couple can produce 300 eggs per week. The larvae hatch two days after fertilization; five days later all the vital organs are ...

Larval zebrafish are an invaluable tool for neuroscientists, who use the tiny, transparent fish to probe how the brain controls behavior, but it's been difficult for scientists to study learning ...

A novel system that chases larval zebrafish around an arena with predator robots is enabling scientists to understand how these days-old fish quickly learn in the real world. A novel system ...
