EPILEPTOGENESIS INHIBITS THE CIRCADIAN CLOCK AND RESHAPES THE DIURNAL TRANSCRIPTOMIC RHYTHMICITY IN THE MOUSE HIPPOCAMPUS

This study shows that epileptogenesis disrupts the circadian clock and alters diurnal transcriptomic rhythms in the mouse hippocampus, with implications for human epilepsy.

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.
