Zebrafish as a model for biomedical research

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a popular model organism due to its size, reproduction and growth rate, cost effectiveness, and also its genetic homology with humans (~70%).

Noldus offers a wide array of solutions for research in zebrafish. As experts in behavioral neuroscience, we're here to support and elevate your research.

Video tracking for zebrafish

Video tracking means that the software is able to detect the zebrafish in a video file or from a live video feed, distinguish it from its background, and track its whereabouts and movements. It tracks and analyzes the behavior, movement, and activity of zebrafish. Video tracking technology is versatile and enough to be very useful in many different behavioral tests.

EthoVision XT is the industry leader in video tracking. Use as a standalone solution for video tracking, or pair with the DanioVision observation chamber, a complete system designed for high-throughput tracking of zebrafish larvae.

Epilepsy research in zebrafish

The development of accurate, high-throughput models for epilepsy research is crucial. Read how researchers use EthoVision XT to develop a multi-parametric analysis in zebrafish.

Zebrafish and learning paradigms

Zebrafish have become an important animal model for studying neurodegenerative diseases. Download the white paper and learn more about zebrafish and learning paradigms.

Basic behavioral neuroscience in zebrafish

This essential guidebook will delve into the significant transformation zebrafish undergo through their developmental stages: from the embryonic stage to larvae, and finally adult zebrafish.

"Our Noldus EthoVision is awesome. We use it to track zebrafish larvae in real time."

Neurobiology & behavior

The zebrafish has become an important vertebrate model to study (developmental) neurobiology and behavior, not in the least because of recent improvements in imaging techniques and behavioral assays.

  • Optogenetics
  • Social behavior
zebrafish embryos
Toxicology

To protect human health, wildlife, and the environment, the effects of naturally occurring and synthetic contaminants need to be monitored. Zebrafish are valuable in these types of studies for many reasons.

  • Compound screening
  • Larvae activity
zebrafish translational
Translational research

Researchers have unraveled the molecular basis of many human disorders, and many of the genes we know to be associated with human disease (e.g., Parkinson’s and epilepsy) have homologues in zebrafish.

  • Stress & anxiety
  • Learning & memory
