Exposure to epoxiconazole induces hyperlocomotion in adult zebrafish

This study investigates the behavioral effects of epoxiconazole exposure in zebrafish, finding increased locomotion but no significant effects on social preference or biochemistry.

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.

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.

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.
