A Unified Approach to Investigating 4 dpf Zebrafish Larval Behaviour through a Standardised Light/Dark Assay

C. S. Hillman, J. Kearn, M. O. Parker

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.

A high-throughput test of anxiety for zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae: the larval diving response (LDR)

B. Dotto Fontana, M. O. Parker

This paper introduces a high-throughput anxiety test for zebrafish larvae using the larval diving response, showing reliable behavior linked to anxiety-like states.

Dopaminergic Modulation of Working Memory and Cognitive Flexibility in a Zebrafish Model of Aging-Related Cognitive Decline

M. Cleal, B. D. Fontana, M. Double, R. Mezbrovschi, L. Parcell, E. S. Redhead, M. O. Parker

This study examines age-related cognitive decline in zebrafish and finds that dopamine receptor agonist treatment improves working memory in aging fish but causes downregulation of dat expression at higher doses.

Moderate early-life stress improves adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) spatial short-term memory but does not affect social and anxiety-like responses

A Test of Memory: The Fish, The Mouse, The Fly And The Human

M. Cleal, B. D. Fontana, D. C. Ranson, S. D. McBride, J. D. Swinny, E. S. Redhead, M. O. Parker

The paper develops a new working memory task, the Free-movement pattern Y-maze, and shows it reveals common strategies across vertebrates including humans.

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) behavioral laterality predicts increased short-term avoidance memory but not stress-reactivity responses

B. Dotto Fontana, M. Cleal, J. Clay, M. O. Parker

This study shows zebrafish exhibit natural behavioral laterality, which affects short-term memory but not stress or anxiety behaviors.

Moderate developmental alcohol exposure reduces repetitive alternation in a zebrafish model of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.

M. Cleal, M. O. Parker

This study shows that moderate ethanol exposure during zebrafish development reduces spatial working memory in adulthood without affecting appetitive or aversive learning.
