Zebrafish are used as research models in a great variety of fields. From embryos to adults, they have found their way into many labs. DanioVision is the ideal environment to track larval to juvenile fish.
Below you can find some of the applications DanioVision has been used for. If you want to know more about a specific validation, feel free to contact us.
Zebrafish offer a genetically and physiologically relevant model to study disease mechanisms and screen candidate compounds. DanioVision enables high-throughput, multi-well tracking with integrated light and vibration stimuli for standardized assays. Toxicology examines how environmental or chemical exposures affect organism health. Run repeatable light/dark and LPR assays to detect subtle changes in movement, arousal, and non-associative learning. Many behaviors follow day–night cycles, and disruptions can signal changes in neural and metabolic function. Program precise light cycles and capture long-term recordings with phase-based segmentation. Zebrafish larvae model genetic and chemically induced seizures. Use controlled stimuli and sensitive tracking to quantify burst activity, bout structure, and stereotypies. The zebrafish startle reflex is a conserved defensive response. Deliver precise taps or light cues and measure latency, magnitude, and decay over repeated presentations. Assays like larval photomotor response (LPR) and phototaxis probe visual pathways and sensorimotor integration. Control light color, intensity, and timing to evoke reliable responses. Zebrafish models help interrogate motor control deficits relevant to neurodegenerative and developmental conditions. Obtain continuous locomotor and postural metrics under controlled stimuli. Zebrafish shoaling behavior has often been tested in adult zebrafish. However, juvenile fish can also show social interaction. DanioVision offers a standardized environment for measuring zebrafish behavior. Zebrafish larvae are naturally transparent, making them ideal for light-based manipulation of neural circuits. The Optogenetics Add-on delivers precise colors, intensities, and patterns, fully synchronized with behavioral tracking. Learn all about the why, when and how regarding zebrafish development and behavior. At the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, Groneberg and colleagues researched one of the neural bases for behavior in Danio rerio. Dr. Kalueff has started organizing zebrafish behavioral neuroscience and phenotyping workshops, running for over a decade since October 2012. Zebrafish larvae locomotor behavior often has a high variability. So how can you make your study more robust? Interested in DanioVision?
