Unpredictable chronic stress redistributes novelty-evoked exploratory space use and yields method-dependent identification of resilient-like archetypes in zebrafish

This study shows UCS in zebrafish alters exploratory behavior patterns, with method-dependent identification of resilient-like archetypes.

Modulation of social behavior in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio): a systematic review and meta-analysis

This study performs a systematic review and meta-analysis of pharmacological and stress-related interventions on social behavior in adult zebrafish, finding inconsistent effects and methodological limitations.

Effects of NMDA antagonists on social behaviour: a systematic review and meta-analysis of preclinical studies

This study reviews and analyzes preclinical data on NMDA antagonists' effects on social behavior, finding reduced social interaction and preference, with mixed effects of antipsychotics.

Unpredictable chronic stress does not alter social behavior in zebrafish

This study investigates the effect of unpredictable chronic stress on social behavior in zebrafish and finds no significant changes in social approach or group cohesion, but detects anxiety-like behaviors.

Neurological effects induced by micro- and nanoplastics in fish: a systematic review and meta-analysis

This paper reviews and analyzes studies on the neurological effects of micro- and nanoplastics in fish, finding mixed results with limited consistent effects.

Ketamine-induced NMDA receptor hypofunction alters social and locomotor behavior in adult zebrafish

This study examines the behavioral effects of ketamine in adult zebrafish, finding acute but not sustained changes in social and locomotor behavior.

Estimating the replicability of Brazilian biomedical science

In validated multicenter replications, 20 to 44% of 45 published Brazilian MTT, RT-PCR and elevated plus maze experiments replicated, depending on criterion; replication effects were usually smaller.

Linalool and trans-nerolidol prevent pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures in adult zebrafish

This study evaluates the antiseizure effects of linalool and trans-nerolidol in zebrafish using a PTZ-induced seizure model, finding that both compounds reduce seizure severity and delay progression, with trans-nerolidol showing stronger efficacy.

Evaluation of behavioral and neurochemical changes induced by carbofuran in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

This study evaluates the effects of carbofuran on zebrafish behavior and neurochemical markers but finds no significant changes in behavioral parameters or neurochemical levels.

Status epilepticus during neurodevelopment increases seizure susceptibility: a model study in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

This study shows that inducing status epilepticus during zebrafish neurodevelopment increases susceptibility to subsequent seizure-like behavior.

Chemically-induced epileptic seizures in zebrafish: a systematic review

This paper systematically reviews chemically-induced seizure models in zebrafish, identifying common chemoconvulsants and highlighting variability in protocols and reporting practices.

N-acetylcysteine and acetyl-L-carnitine did not prevent acute PTZ-induced seizure in adult and larvae zebrafish

This study tests N-acetylcysteine and acetyl-L-carnitine for preventing PTZ-induced seizures in zebrafish but finds no effect, while diazepam shows efficacy.

Ten years of unpredictable chronic stress in zebrafish: a systematic review and meta-analysis

This review meta-analyzes 38 studies on unpredictable chronic stress in zebrafish, finding increased anxiety/fear and cortisol, decreased locomotor function, but no significant effect on social behavior, while highlighting methodological issues.

Non-micronized and micronized curcumin do not prevent the behavioral and neurochemical effects induced by acute stress in zebrafish

This study evaluates the effects of non-micronized and micronized curcumin on stress-induced behavioral and neurochemical changes in zebrafish, finding no protective effects.

What do zebrafish prefer? Directional and color preferences in maze tasks

This study investigates innate directional and color preferences in male and female zebrafish using maze tasks, finding sex differences in color preference but not direction.

Micronized curcumin causes hyperlocomotion in zebrafish larvae

This study shows that micronized curcumin increases locomotion in zebrafish larvae without affecting other behaviors or oxidative status.

Curcumin micronization by supercritical fluid: in vitro and in vivo biological relevance

This study compares the antioxidant effects of curcumin and micronized curcumin in vitro and in vivo, finding that micronization enhances antioxidant activity and mitigates stress-induced neurochemical changes in zebrafish.

How do zebrafish respond to MK-801 and amphetamine? Relevance for assessing schizophrenia-relevant endophenotypes in alternative model organisms

This study examines the effects of MK-801 and amphetamine on zebrafish behavior and oxidative stress, finding MK-801 disrupts social interaction and locomotion, while amphetamine increases lipid peroxidation.
